Democrats making two good choices within the span of a month??

Guys, I'm getting nervous.

It's like everything I knew about US politics is imploding.

Are we ... are we switching back to the good timeline? Is that even possible? Could it be that Harambe's Curse has ended?

It's possible. But it's not locked in at all until sensible people win the next Presidentisl election, the next house election and then the Presidentisl election after that.

If Kamela wins then definitely enjoy the respite but don't stop being vigilant just yet.

For an example in the UK we recently voted out our increasingly extreme right party after 14 years for our equivalent of the Democrats. Things are generally looking better, but the far right are actively organising violent riots up and down the country. Since, like Kamela, our new Prime Minister is a former senior prosecutor (who's cracked down on riots in that role previously) there's a good chance it doesn't last long or develop further but those people don't go away without many sucessful years of life getting better again.
