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
When I first heard Bernie Sanders’ remarks on the impending presidential election and the frustration that some voters are expressing about skipping it due to the situation in Israel, my immediate thought was a combination of anger and disbelief. The message is stark and clear: opting not to vote, especially because of a single issue, is tantamount to paving the way for someone like Donald Trump to return to power. Let’s be real here; the reality of what a Trump presidency would mean is terrifying.
Trump is not just another candidate; he represents an absence of basic human decency and an embrace of authoritarianism that is dangerous on multiple fronts.… Continue reading
Kamala Harris breaking her own rally crowd record in just 24 hours is nothing short of exhilarating, a manifestation of the palpable excitement surrounding her campaign. It’s incredible to witness such tangible enthusiasm, especially when considering what motivated this surge in attendance. The recent rally in Georgia, featuring the incomparable Barack Obama alongside her, attracted around 20,000 supporters. This figure eclipses her previous record of approximately 17,000 attendees in Greensboro, North Carolina. Watching her draw these crowds, I feel invigorated, as if a new wave of energy is washing over the political landscape.
The significance of this moment resonates beyond mere numbers; it represents a burgeoning connection with the electorate.… Continue reading
The news that Jeff Bezos allegedly killed the Washington Post’s endorsement of Kamala Harris is a stark reminder of the power dynamics that operate within American media and politics. As a long-time reader of the Post, this situation fills me with a disconcerting mixture of anger and sadness. It underscores the uncomfortable reality that not only do billionaires have the power to shape narratives but also to silence certain voices in the public sphere. The fact that a publication built on the foundation of journalistic integrity is now swayed by its billionaire owner raises significant questions about the future of independent journalism in this country.… Continue reading
Kamala Harris’s recent town hall on CNN was a momentous occasion that shed light on a pressing issue: the label of fascism as it pertains to Donald Trump. When she unequivocally stated, “Yes, I do think Trump is a fascist,” I felt a surge of validation rush through me. Here was a high-ranking official boldly calling out the authoritarian tendencies that have pervaded Trump’s rhetoric and actions. In a political climate where the word “fascist” is often tossed around carelessly, Harris’s commitment to unpacking this term felt crucial and timely.
Trump’s comments regarding his opponents as the “enemy from within” were striking.… Continue reading
It’s baffling to me how Candace Owens can so easily dismiss the identities of Kamala Harris and Barack Obama, two individuals who have undeniably shaped Black representation in America. When Owens boldly states that there is “nothing” about them that is Black, it reveals more about her perspective than it does about their identities. It seems to stem from a desire to gatekeep Blackness, an absurd notion that one can measure the authenticity of another’s lived experience or heritage based solely on arbitrary criteria.
Barack Obama, the first Black President of the United States, and Kamala Harris, the first female Vice President, both have African ancestry that is undeniable.… Continue reading
Harris’s assertion that her team is prepared for the inevitable declaration of victory from Trump before the votes are counted resonates with me on many levels. I reflect on the tumultuous events of the last election cycle, the chaos that unfolded, and how, despite the hopes placed in the democratic process, a cloud of uncertainty and dishonesty loomed over it all. Trump’s propensity for theatrics and manipulation is hardly a new development. This time around, the stakes feel higher, but the strategy of preparation is reassuring for those of us who understand the need for a robust response to such tactics.… Continue reading
The double standard for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump has reached a breaking point in the political landscape that we can no longer ignore. It is absolutely infuriating to witness how one candidate can spout nonsense with impunity while the other is scrutinized at every turn. We live in a world where Trump can ramble about gibberish, make outlandish statements, and yet somehow evade any real consequences, while Harris sits in the crosshairs of a media narrative that insists she must be flawless.
I’ve become exhausted by this constant comparison, as if we are living in two parallel universes. Trump has built his entire political persona on being lawless and flouting norms, and yet he is celebrated by a segment of the population that seems to thrive on chaos and absurdity.… Continue reading
Kamala Harris’s recent question to Americans—“Are you really going to elect a guy who has good things to say about Hitler?”—is more than just a provocative statement; it encapsulates an alarming reality in our political landscape. It raises profound concerns about how far moral and ethical lines can be blurred in the name of political allegiance, and it forces us to confront the uncomfortable truth about a segment of the American electorate that seems willing to overlook monumental atrocities for the sake of their own gratification.
I’ve been processing the implications of this question, and I can’t help but feel a sense of dread as I see how many Americans are prepared to lend their support to a man who praises not just a historical dictator but a symbol of atrocity and suffering.… Continue reading
The dynamic landscape of American politics often feels like a pressure cooker, simmering with passionate sentiments, shifting allegiances, and outcomes that can turn on a dime. In this extraordinary election cycle, I perceive three definitive signs that indicate Kamala Harris may emerge victorious over Donald Trump: real polls, the state of enthusiasm, and an undeniable shift in the narrative surrounding voters’ sentiments.
The nature of polling has become a contentious topic, and I understand the skepticism surrounding it. Some assessments feel like little more than wishful thinking or tactical misrepresentations designed to stir reactions. Yet, the more I study these polls and the patterns that emerge, the more I’m convinced that they may not be as misleading as they appear.… Continue reading
I’m Voting Harris Not Because She Deserves it But Because I Do | I deserve many of the things that Kamala Harris is proposing and we all deserve a break from Donald Trump.
