It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. Time and time again I believe he has proved that he lacks the qualities of honesty, wisdom, compassion, humility, and rationality, which are so essential to leading our nation.
While president, I think he neglected his duties, tried to extort our ally, and downplayed and mishandled the pandemic in order to help his re-election campaign.
He coddled the world’s worst autocrats and considered removing the U.S. from our most important alliance, NATO, while giving tax cuts to the rich and ballooning the nation’s deficit.
In the end, of course, unable to admit defeat, he and his supporters attempted to overthrow the election with false electors and ultimately a violent insurrection.
I believe he is a hateful, self-obsessed, and faltering divider who believes he can lead through instilling fear, division, and hatred.
If you support democracy, if you support good governance, if you support freedom, please vote for Kamala Harris.
