Harris by a landslide. I'm optimistic and am choosing to have faith in at least some of mankind.

Trump is power hungry while simultaneously old and simple minded. I remember Jan 6. I followed live feeds throughout and immediately after. I watched Trump's speech, the riot it caused. I watched Ashli Babbitt die on some guy's go pro.

I keep asking myself how in the hell Trump is even still in the running. What the fuck is wrong with his supporters?

Please get out and vote Harris! Harris is the way forward. She's not Trump but also SHE IS NOT BIDEN. We need women in power. Look what men have done . She happens to be a good one, of course a politician, but she's won my confidence. Over Trump it was an easy win.

Yeah....

Asked whether there is anything she would have done differently than Biden over the past four years, Harris demurred.

“There is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of — and I’ve been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact,”

“You asked me what is the difference between Joe Biden and me — that will be one of the differences. I’m going to have a Republican in my Cabinet,”

She's going to lose. Not because people love Trump (though many do unfortunately) but because she refuses to seperate herself from the old man actively commiting genocide and herself leans to the right trying to pick up Trump supporters on issues like immigration, when they will never switch and she just disillusions people who care about those issues in the left.
