The choice for president is easy

Presidential election: Choose hope, decency, growth for the middle class and the future for America and the world. Vote for Kamala Harris. 

Trump never should be president again. The day of the insurrection, he should have been taken by the police and jailed as a traitor. Republicans, he lied to you and betrayed you. All investigations supported that the last election was valid. He is a criminal, and yet his hand-picked Supreme Court does not hold him accountable. This is wrong.

Why do you believe and support him? He is not only a liar but a braggart and a poor loser who demeans others. Is this the kind of person you show to your children as a person to admire and emulate? 

America – you need someone who is truthful, gracious if a loser, never demeans another but treats others, even of opposing views, with dignity and kindness.

Trump is weak. Strength is not being a braggart and insisting on getting one’s way, but someone who can step aside for the good of the country or valuing people of different cultures and values. We need someone who can work toward meaningful actions to mediate climate change, the crucial issue affecting the health and economies of the planet.

Trump is not for the middle class but wants to get rid of Medicare and Social Security. He cares for his billionaire friends by cutting taxes for them, not lower-income Americans. This country was founded on freedom, yet he is working to remove more freedoms: reproductive rights, voting and education.

America cannot have an autocrat. Instead, vote for Kamala Harris, who has worked her whole life to help working people and will work to help all Americans.
