The other 100 days

 I've heard some anxiety from the US that with only 100-ish days till the election, the Dems are worried about cranking Kamala Harris's campaign up in time,  Well, I'm here to tell you, to paraphrase a former president, YES YOU CAN. In the UK, the ENTIRE campaign, BY LAW, is six weeks. And I can't tell you what a relief that is. The US election season seems to start on Day One of the new incumbent's tenure. When it was just an internal matter to the US, that didn't affect me, but now that the wrong choice of president would send the entire globe careering in a very bad direction, it's beyond exhausting and terrifying. 

And in my view, a long campaign is completely pointless anyway. I don't think most voters remember much beyond what happened just before the election. I'm convinced Hillary Clinton lost because of the James Comey ridiculous "buttery males" email probe, and for no other reason. And that was on October 28. I think it's an advantage for Kamala to have a short time to campaign while everyone's invigorated by the change. Go go go!
