Something I've been saying recently is: "I don't know what's going to happen this year, but whatever happens, it's going to be unprecedented!"
To put things charitably:
We’re going to need someone you just have to watch on TV. Someone who can offer a thrilling, inclusive defense of democracy based on common goals, not a riot of identities.
The sadness of 2024 is that’s not going to happen this year. One can only hope that we will merit the chance to have another election in 2028.
