I’m voting for Kamala Harris, not because I believe she is owed a presidency but because I, along with countless others, deserve the future she’s championing. It’s clear to me that what is at stake extends far beyond Harris’s qualifications or my personal preferences; it’s about the stark contrast between her vision and the destructive path that Donald Trump represents. I tire of the chaotic whirlwind that seemed to define Trump’s presidency—a continuous state of drama that left me feeling exhausted and disengaged from the civic process. In contrast, the stability I’ve experienced under Biden and Harris has been refreshing, allowing me moments of peace I didn’t realize I craved so much.… Continue reading
As a passionate observer of American politics, I can’t help but be struck by the recent news of Liz Cheney endorsing Kamala Harris for president. Amidst the chaos of our current political landscape, Cheney’s bold decision stands out as a beacon of integrity and courage. Her willingness to put country over party is a rare and admirable quality in today’s hyper-partisan environment.
I commend Liz Cheney for her principled stance against the dangers posed by Donald Trump. Her actions, both in endorsing Harris and in serving on the Jan. 6 committee, demonstrate a deep commitment to upholding democratic values and the rule of law.… Continue reading

Mike Johnson’s recent decision to fly the same Christian nationalist flag outside his office that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito flew at his vacation home speaks volumes about the dangerous infiltration of fundamentalist beliefs into positions of power in our government. The concept of Christian nationalism, where one’s religious beliefs are intertwined with their political ideals, is not only concerning but also goes against the very principles of the separation of church and state that our country was founded upon.
As Susan B. Anthony aptly stated, there is a deep distrust for those who claim to know the will of God and use it as a justification for their actions.… Continue reading
Supporting a candidate who signifies a return to democracy and the rule of law should not be a partisan issue, but rather a universal one. The relaunch of the pro-Haley super PAC as ‘Haley Voters for Biden’ is a bold move that demonstrates a commitment to putting country before party affiliation. As someone who has previously supported Nikki Haley, seeing this pivot towards President Joe Biden is not only surprising but also refreshing in the current political climate.
The fundamental idea behind this shift is to appeal to Haley voters who may feel conflicted about their party’s current direction under the leadership of former President Trump.… Continue reading
