Kamala Harris’s candidacy for the White House is refreshing because she is bringing energy, enthusiasm and hope to the process.
Joe Biden did a good job in his four-year term. Let’s remember that he kept the economy at a “normal” pace and controlled inflation. And he helped to control the Covid pandemic. You might remember that during Trump’s presidency, he did almost nothing to confront the pandemic—and even suggested that people could drink Clorox to avoid the effects of the Covid virus.
It’s difficult to believe that Trump, a felon, is a presidential candidate. Something is wrong with our society, particularly with our legal system. Furthermore, the Republican candidate is violent, misogynist, a sex abuser, vulgar and more (the list goes on). We need not only to choose the best candidate because of his/her agenda but also to keep civility and an educated populace.
Yes, this is a two-party system and the options are limited. A deep, radical change is needed. An age limit for candidates is important. And most important is to limit the power of the Supreme Court. It’s surreal that 5–6 conservative judges in a blink erased women’s reproductive rights and gave Trump partial immunity.
The November election is crucial. It’s not the lesser of two evils we are going to choose; it’s about stopping the barbaric gang led by Trump that wants to seize power for its own benefit and implement medieval policies.
There is hope. That is the momentum to motivate young people to get involved, to understand what is at stake. We need to educate ourselves and our neighbors.
Till next month.
