So... the good news:
Harris's endorsements will eat up all the media oxygen and drive Trump crazy.
The Biden/Harris war chest can be used by her.
The MAGA crowd are going to go full-on racist, and there are independents and some Republicans who, while willfully blind to the dog whistles, won't be able to swallow the out loud racism, and vote for her quietly.
Her championing of the cause of abortion rights will confront women in a way Biden couldn't.

Harris has been a prosecutor. If she gets on stage with Trump in a debate, she'll slaughter him.
Although, if I were her, I'd turn down any invitation to debate; there's no reason on earth why she should share the stage with a convicted felon.
Basically, she's young and vital. Her opponent is a rapist, a felon and can't finish an entire sentence.
So... things are looking up.
Mary Austin VOTED 4 HARRIS!
@Remittancegirl Yes, a silver lining to this is that Trump has already made disgusting misogynistic and racist comments about her. That will be dialed up to an 11. Everything the racist enemies and frenemies of democracy did about Biden's age they will do about her race and sex, whether more or less blatantly. But Trump has zero filter and will probably give her a racist nickname. God knows what Vance will say. And that might turn off some outside the cult.

@Remittancegirl Ok, granted the media attention, war chest, etc.
But counterpoint to the racist stuff.
The GOPers ARE racists.
EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. OF. THEM.
ZERO EXCEPTIONS.
Yes, even the women. They ALWAYS have withstood the sexism, so they could enjoy the racism.
Don't be blind to this.l Wishful thinking isn't the way forward.
