    I am going to be so sad if we lose in November.

    Seriously, Kamala hit it out of the park yesterday with her speech. Putting her next to Trump, I just don’t see how anyone could look at the two of them and then pick him.

    Kamala isn’t just better symbolically, but she is also better on policy.

    She was born to two immigrant parents who later divorced, and she was mostly raised by her single mother. Her family had to budget their money diligently to make ends meet. Contrast that with Trump, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, always had the family chauffeur cater to his every need, and ultimately is the patriarch of a generationally wealthy family that views people like Harris as annoying upstarts inserting themselves where they don’t belong.

    Their policies also reflect their upbringing; Trump’s policies empower people like himself; they make the rich richer, and make everyday Americans pay more by cutting government services. Harris’s policies empower everyday Americans, and make those who have far more money than they could ever spend in a lifetime pay their fair share.

    I’m actually excited to vote for Kamala. Ending the Trump shitshow is an added bonus, but America will be genuinely better off and on a better path if she wins.
