RE: Democracy on the Line

This is brilliantly researched and laid out, @agmoore. As you know from the article I shared with you that I posted on Medium, I agree with you completely that democracy is on the ballot. A significant percentage of the population believes so. To your point, both sides are saying it for different reasons. But the arguments of the left-leaning folks stand up to criticism and fact-checking, whereas the others do not.

As we count down the days, I just hope more and more people come to their senses, and feel a terrible sense of discomfort when they consider the possibility that the angry, vindictive felon in the MAGA hat could be back in control again, and — even better — feel a sense of joy and anticipation that a woman with lengthy experience as a champion for all could make history as Madam President.

Sort:  

fact-checking

I tried to anchor it in facts (as you did in your essay). I intentionally don't name anyone. I just cite egregious acts. If readers can identify an individual with those acts, well, case closed.

Madam President

I like the sound of that

Thanks very much for reading. I haven't given up hope yet.

How is Kamala a good candidate or president when she’s done quite literally nothing for the current term in her vice presidency? Before Biden was exposed as too unfit for anything she was the most unpopular Vice President in history, which is data (supposedly) from democrat people. What changed? She had zero policies that she stands on, she can’t hold her own if there’s no written speech for her. She has gotten caught numerous times on a teleprompter and has had massively edited, pre-recorded interviews. If you were saying Tulsi I could think you are absolutely on the mark - she’s a fantastic, strong woman and an excellent candidate. Harris is an absolute disaster and her running mate is surprisingly worse than she is. Being friends with school shooters? Seriously?

I’m by far more of a Ron Paul guy than I am Trump but in no way shape or form could I support a corporate puppet like Harris. She has absolutely zero qualities about her.

What has Harris done to “help out everyone”? Keeping people in jail to help fund the prison labor scheme that she did as AG? Casting the deciding vote on the fleecing of Medicare in the stimulus bill that screws seniors in a couple years?
I don’t know of any real examples of Harris in a positive light that is not just BS hopes and dreams. We need substance.

I'm not an argumentative person, @cmplxty. So if you're looking for an argument, don't look here. You are entitled to your opinions.

But I will share a few things.

First, here's an article sharing Kamala Harris's achievements: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/07/26/kamala-harris-vice-president-accomplishments/74534954007/

Second, here's the article I referenced above, which goes into deep detail about why Trump should be disqualified from ever running for office, and why I believe Kamala Harris is going to make an excellent president and will help our country come together again: https://medium.com/@jaynalocke/u-s-election-2024-undecided-independent-pick-the-candidate-with-the-moral-compass-189f2775bb08

And finally, I have a question for you. Without looking it up, can you list the achievements of Mike Pence? Maybe you can. It's mainly a rhetorical question to get you to think about how much we ever even hear about what a vice president is getting done. They tend to be behind the scenes.

I love Kamala Harris's vision, her integrity, what she stands for, the plans and policies she has laid out, her belief in women's rights and civil rights, and the fact that she intends to be a president for all U.S. citizens. I also love Tim Walz. (He's my governor and I think he's amazing.) And for the record, I am passionate and unwavering about my stance on all this, and have already voted.

All the best to you.
