I'll help you be less disappointed in yourself: I watched the 10 p.m. show. Biden of course did well, and I liked that he pointed out that young voters could own this election.

Abrams did well, and I could see her as an appointee in the Biden administration. I'm with Glenda from Ohio, who wanted to know why she wasn't willing to run for the senate to get control away from the Republicans but would accept the (imo very unlikely) role of VP. It's a very on point question she's rightfully been asked a lot.

I voted gladly for Abrams for governor, but I really don't understand how she put her own wishes ahead of duty in a time of grave national emergency. Of course she could have used the national spotlight on her campaign to fight for voting rights, could have lead from the front, and then if she won of course as a powerful U.S. senator, and also contemporaneously with. No one else here in GA was as well positioned as Abrams this time. And she refused. Like Glenda, that refusal to serve is at the front of my mind every time I see her.
