this is so spot on. post-dystopian RNC and assassination attempt I think a lot of people (aka me) are so relieved for a change in discourse, as well as someone not old and white to vote for.

Great piece, really captures the phenomenon we are seeing breaking out this week, and wise advice for them not to try too hard.
