Your vision gives me hope then. As I've said before, I'm afraid the country is just too sexist and racist to vote in a woman of color. I really, really hope I'm wrong. For all of 2016, I kept telling people, "I'm afraid Hilary Clinton is going to lose," and everyone kept saying, "That's ridiculous, look at her opponent!" I was terrified, and I couldn't shake the fear, despite all the evidence. As it is now, I'm too traumatized by what happened in 2016 to know my true feelings about the upcoming election. For the past couple of weeks, I've had the strong feeling that Biden wouldn't serve a second term, which, of course scared me, but again, I wasn't sure if I that was just traumatic fear from the past. Also, the NYT had been bashing him so much for so long (part of the reason I stopped reading them), it really seemed like he was fighting a losing battle, so you really couldn't call my feeling any sort of clairvoyance. When the announcement came out, I felt intense relief. Maybe I was just relieved that the question was finally settled. I also feel more hopefulness than before. I think your vision has fostered some of that.
