The question for us voters is whether or not we believe in the Great American Experiment: Freedom, Justice and Democracy. One citizen-One Vote, the Rule of Law… I mean no disrespect to supporters of Mr Trump, but to me the choice is very clear—Kamala Harris and Tim Walz will protect and preserve our Democracy. Donald Trump and JD Vance will not and their branding of anyone who opposes them as the “enemy within” actually threatens the very fabric of our democracy.
No matter what the opposing party has been saying, our economy is the envy of the world and our alliances have never been stronger. The radical and in my mind, risky alternative is to continue the paralysis and division that the Republicans seem to be committed to.
In my opinion, a Harris/Walz administration, built on and continuing with the extraordinary successes of the last four years, is the clear and rational choice. I hope you will join me next Tuesday in electing Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
