One thing that really struck me was just how good a politician she has become. The pressure she was under to deliver at the convention speech was almost unimaginably immense, and she absolutely crushed it with ease. She wears that pressure suit so lightly it's eye popping. Kamala is the real deal: An iron lady who gives a shit about the people.

Regarding student debt, I have no problem with forgiveness simply because I think college eduction should be free, like it essentially was in the first couple decades after WW2. It's an investment in our nation's future that pays back many times within a few decades, and most countries in the world understand that.

The reason the immigration bill finally came up this election year is two fold: It took months to negotiate, and essentially Democrats caved on every demand they had. No amnesty for dreamers. No asylum guarantees. Nothing. Dems gave repubs everything and all they wanted for it was Ukraine Aid, which they ended up getting anyway after Trump killed the bill. But there was another reason Dems caved: In public they kept their immigration talking points, but in private they realized the border was in fact a real disaster and that something had to be done even if it meant punting on all their demands and giving the GOP everything it wanted. They realized the border needed to be solved first above all else. That bill would have fixed the border and it was ready to pass with huge majorities in both the House and Senate, but the orange shitstain once again put his own needs before the good of the country.

Kamala's pledge to bring back the border bill and sign it is brilliant poltics and damn good policy too.
