As for who you worked supported? Brava. But please, don't make your situation the prevalent and only one. There are many ways to support the candidate and she is no longer running in a solidly blue state. You needn't give financial support but running a national campaign is not the same as running in a safe state. It is bloody expensive. But I digress. You can help people register to vote, you can canvas, you can write post cards urging people to vote, you can phone bank. None of these things will effect your pocketbook, but they will help make the turnout better. This race will come down to two things: New voters and convincing those who are registered to vote.
Another point, why would someone with a position of power in Congress want to be VP? It is a ceremonial position. The VP breaks ties in the Senate, counts ballots when affirming the new president, and steps in when the president is incapacitated. The VP can only do as much as the President allows the VP to do.
Kamala Harris ran the second largest legal department in the United States, the first being US Justice. She knows how to deal with a large bureaucracy and how to delegate. Nancy Pelosi has accomplished what she has because of her innate ability to twist arms and count votes. But it took the young members of Congress to help her realize she had to step aside. Which she did. Congressional experience is wonderful. So tell me, why one would give it up for, at best, to be a stand in for some unfortunate happenstance. Pres. Biden was generous, Vice President Harris' portfolio was important and strong. She is more than capable and ready to assume the presidency.
I was referring to California, not the United States. My family arrived in Plymouth in 1633. The rest of them got here by 1754. I am well aware of how powerful California and the nine county bay area are. Since before 2000 I have been also well aware of what a national election means (itʼs the Supreme Court, stupid, is the way I have phrased it.) Since Kennedy was assassinated, the vice-presidency has hardly been a ceremonial position. Iʼm sorry I didnʼt also mention that I have suffered from long covid since May 2020. Also, having been very active in the Sixties and Seventies, Iʼve never been on social media and Iʼve never had a personal location device (cell phone). Now that you know my health and financial status, why donʼt you just give it up? I prefer the most qualified candidates, and thatʼs the way I vote (unless itʼs Bernie, they have to be Democrats.)

I hope you decide to help in this effort.
