Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours after President Biden announced he was suspending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, Vote.org said.
Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.
Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.
Hey, stop focusing so much on âI told ya soâ to people who are definitely on your side. I was torn on it as well, but out of consideration for the potential impact being unknown. Hindsight is 20/20 and weâre all better served by not gloating if we were right and instead focusing on the future path we are now on. Letâs just keep it positive and build this victory through positivity instead of potential fractures with people who likely agree with you on the issues.
I think Biden supporters are not like bitter Bernie bros. Iâm a Biden supporter, and all Iâm seeing from fellow supporters is pleasant surprise. We didnât expect Harris to get this kind of support, but weâre glad to see it.
Like Biden said in his speech today, saving our democracy is by far and away the most important thing, and it looks like Harris can do it so Iâm happy to see my predictions were wrong.
I do still think Biden was done dirty, but Harris is an excellent candidate and will make a great President. And she has my full support.

If they hadnât been so arrogant and condescending while being absolutely completely 100% wrong, the temptation wouldnât be there.
But they were. Theyâre the wing of the party that keeps insisting that everyone to their left doesnât know how anything works. Turns out, political reality isnât what it was in the early to mid '90s, and the republican-adjacent wing of the party is out of touch and doesnât know how anything works anymore.
Itâll do centrists some good to eat crow. They need to reexamine their assumptions, because their assumptions led them to advocate continuing to run a losing candidate when democracy itself was on the line. And they need some of the uncharacteristic humility that some centrists in this thread are big enough people to actually show, and which I commend.
Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but id like to put a gentle reminder here that it doesnât help when political trolls show up pretending to be Democrats and start agitating people and causing infighting. Thereâs actually sociology term for it. Covert trolling.
Sure, not everyone defending biden or those against biden was a troll, but I recently saw enough of them in the mix trying, and succeeding at causing infighting between people who otherwise agree on political issues.
I find itâs helpful to remind myself that a lot of the people espousing inflammatory opinions and generally being rude online are trolls, and they donât reflect the real opinions of most of the population.
The trolls want to control the Overton window. We stop that by educating ourselves on their tactics, and recognizing them when they show up, and not engaging. They love nothing more than wasting everyoneâs time with long comment chains filled with circular arguments.
Also, your feelings are totally valid, just donât let shitheads make you bitter. Iâm sure a chunk of the people you are calling out were instigators, and not people who actually believed what they were saying.
Sorry for the long comment, and feel free to ignore it if itâs unhelpful to you!

It doesnât help that any time someone disagrees with a centrist, this is the immediate assumption.
Well, when we were saying this isnât a good idea to replace Biden the only solution yall were giving was well letâs have a vote and see what people think.
Thatâs not what happened. Kamala stepped up and nearly everyone rallied behind her.
So donât act like youâre any better because when we argued the only solution was âletâs just throw shit at the wall and see what happensâ

Our solution was to replace Biden. We were right. You lot were predicting chaos because you wanted to keep a geriatric genocide supporter who was losing.
