always believed that this race would be close. It was unfortunately never going to be a blowout landslide victory for Harris. This is why the lead in these polls have changed several times in the last few months since Kamala was the nominee. I believe Kamala has a 50-50 shot of winning this. It's the equivalent of a coin flip so we are far from out of it. I don't worry about Trump winning because I feel there is no point of worrying right now while he hasn't won yet. Save the worrying for if Trump actually wins but for right now just focus on helping Kamala win whether it's donating or volunteering.

Failure is never pleasant in any aspect in life but as I have gotten older, I have learned to soften the blow of failure by giving it my all. If I fail but I know I have given it my all then I will never feel bad. I may feel frustrated with the result, but I won't feel bad about myself.
