No matter how this apocalyptic election turns out, I think it’s important for all of us to recognize that Kamala Harris has been a magnificent candidate who ran a great campaign. If Donald Trump somehow manages to pull out a victory, that won’t be on Harris; rather, it will be on voters who’ve decided they’d like to give authoritarianism a try, decency and the rule of law be damned.
I hope that by tonight, or at least within a day or two, we can call her Madam President-elect. If that doesn’t happen, I fear for the future of our country. But we’ll also know that Harris did everything she possibly could. We owe her a debt of gratitude.
And if you haven’t voted yet, get out there.

I agree with you about Harris stepping up and doing a great job. This was a difficult election for any Democratic given the state of the issues and the country. Of course there will be a single decision here or there that can be criticized (in any campaign). If Trump hadn’t gone full psycho (for instance if he had seized the moment of his shooting to reach out to people), I don’t see how he could have been beaten. She made it a truly competitive race and offered a positive contrast to his brand of politics. Whatever happens tonight, I think she deserves credit for staying focused and running smart and giving it her all.
