A reader challenge

I normally strive for a no politics Friday. Not today.

Here is my challenge to you: tell me why I should vote for Harris without mentioning Trump. I don’t want to know why you are voting against the other guy, I want to know why I should vote FOR her. 

I think I asked this before without success, maybe not. 

I look forward for your answer. 

I will call you out and make fun of you if your comment is why you are voting against Trump. Please take note.

I literally have in my neighborhood and at the grocery store, walked up to people with "Trump" stuff on and asked them if they are voting for the felon. They all look at me funny but say "yes" and then I tell them "So am I".
I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo tempted to do the same with the people with FJB/Harris crap and ask them what Harris's best accomplishment was as VP.

A Harris administration would save money by not having to pay the Vice President. Walz is a creation of Seth McFarlane; incompetent white dad. Basically a midwestern cartoon Peter Griffin.

The Gutfeld show calls Walz "Mr. Garrison" when they refer to him Cappy. I like that analogy....

Cappy said...

Thanks. I'm known for those.

I know where she stands on abortion. That's it. I know what she says but I don't believe a word coming our of her mouth. I think we have people behind Biden making his decisions and they will stepped in and run our country the next 4 year. We will never see them nor vote for them and if you want to know their names ask the might O.

You asked for five; here are nine:

She will restore women’s reproductive rights and bodily autonomy.

Inflation is going down and the economy is strong, the strongest in the world actually. Wages are up, unemployment is down. The stock market is breaking records. These are facts. She will continue the policies that will keep things going in this direction. Is there inflation? Yes, another fact, but there has always been inflation and always will be. Are prices high? Is there greed? Oh yes. There will be no tax breaks for billionaires. She’s not talking about 20% tariffs on imported goods.. She has the support from a large and wide range of economists and other experts that her economic plans will continue to grow the economy.

Foreign countries are not making contingency plans about what to do if she gets elected.

She’s not enamored of current or past foreign dictators (Putin, Orban, etc.)

She is not suffering from dementia, falling asleep in meetings, etc. She’s in excellent health.

She’s not a felon awaiting sentencing, an adjudicated rapist, or have other cases pending against her.

She will push for and sign the sensible immigration and border bill that was put together by both parties. She will not round up immigrants or others and potentially/possibly place them in camps, nor separate families. Oops! Turns out Jose was born here, a citizen. Oh well, shit happens. Camps in Nazi Germany did not just spring up out of nowhere; first came the language and the name calling. And once the ball gets rolling it’s very hard to stop.

The clear separation between civilian and military roles will continue. The military will not be used to go after citizens.

She doesn’t support Project 2025. Think you will be spared if it comes to that, or even parts of that plan? Think again.

Harris was the VP; it is not her role to have “accomplishments.” Neither was it Pence’s, nor Cheney’s, nor any other VP. As it was for them, her only jobs are to step in if the President can no longer serve and to serve as the President of the Senate and break ties if necessary. That’s it.

Liars, cheaters and thieves.

And they get away with it thanks to so many clueless, as evidenced by anon here.

I guess you know most of you responses are how she is not Trump, so I guess following directions is not your strong point. Plus I never asked for “Five” so comprehension must be an issue too.

Are you aware that Trump HAS NOT endorsed the 3025 project and has in fact disavowed it? No? I guess you missed that too.

Are you aware it is illegal to use the military against domestically? You must have missed that in civics.

The supposed “bipartisan “ immigration bill still allowed tens of thousands of illegals a month. And I guess you know that Obama and Biden also separated families at the border?

What makes you think Trump will do these things when he didn’t do them before?

Perhaps you should do some more research instead of spouting the latest MSNBC or The View talking points?

If abortion is THE most important thing Harris stands for, why didn’t she sponsor a bill to enshrine Roe V Wade into law when the Democrats controlled congress and the Presidency?

Anonymous said...

Because it was enshrined law. All the Supreme Court Justices said so under oath in their confirmation hearings.

Anonymous said...

It wasn’t law. They it was a decision. Those change otherwise we would have “separate but equal “ still. And the court did NOT make it illegal. They said it was a State issue.

Even RBG said RvW was bad case law.

I have voted FOR someone in every election in my lifetime. I vote FOR the candidate that wants to do the things I want, that will improve my life or for others, and doesn't have what I consider to be serious character issues and flaws. This is an election when there are a whole new set of things I've had to consider when choosing between two candidates. And logically, voting for someone for positive reasons means you're voting against the person who has negatives for you.

I damn well know that the military is not to be used against citizens, but I'm voting for the candidate that hasn't brought it up in her rallies - another one of those things I never thought I'd have to evaluate in a candidate. And of course Trump NEVER lies or exaggerates, so when he says he doesn't endorse Project 2025 I guess I am duty bound to believe him even though a percentage of the authors came from his administration.

He had people in place to stop him from following through on his worst ideas before; he won't appoint anyone who will stop him the next time.

And let's talk immigration. What is Trump going to do about the hundreds of thousands of visitors who come into the U.S., overstay their visas, and never leave? And why doesn't he ever talk about these rule breakers? If you're going to bring up those who illegally cross the border, you have to talk about those who overstay their visas as well and are taking jobs from Americans (because they are). More than 850,000 visitors overstayed their visas in 2022, the last year figures are available, and these visitors are a considerable part of our illegal immigration problem. But, maybe they are the "right kind" of immigrant? In 2022, the highest year of border crossings, 1,825,000 unauthorized people crossed the border, but approximately 1,460,000 were apprehended just after crossing. But beyond the numbers, please tell me how these illegal or unauthorized immigrants affect you personally, and affect your daily life. They pay more in taxes and Social Security than they receive in benefits. You think food prices are high now? Want a clean room when you stay in a hotel? Want to eat at a reasonable price in a restaurant? Are the employers of these immigrants going to be punished for hiring illegals instead of legal immigrants only or American citizens or should they get to slide?

If Obama separated families at the border, then that was wrong. I can admit that. But that doesn't give Trump a valid reason for doing it bigger and better.

I don't watch MSNBC or The View. Never have. I don't watch any television news as a matter of fact. I don't watch videos on YouTube. I don't subscribe to or read the NYTimes, the Washington Post, the Wall Street journal or any other newspaper or magazine. But, I do my research (believe it or not other sources are available) and I believe facts when they are presented, whether I like them or not. I am voting FOR Harris because the FACTS of and about Donald Trump make him unqualified for the office of the Presidency.

Please be sure to tell all the women who have a miscarriage and can't receive treatment, who have died waiting for treatment, or may face this in the future (or be punished for traveling to another state), etc. because of this reversal that it was bad case law, or it's the states' decision, whatever. They'll understand. This wasn't a high priority for legislation before *because all potential justices said it was settled during their confirmation hearings and they wouldn't reverse it.* Roe vs. Wade didn't stop women from getting abortions, it stopped women from dying from them.
