Old Man Hippy, without doubt, endorses Kamala Harris for President. Why? I'm glad you asked.
Voting for Kamala Harris represents a commitment to a vision of progressive leadership, equity, and a forward-looking America. Here are some reasons why it is important to support Harris:
Champion for Equity and Justice: Kamala Harris has spent her career advocating for marginalized communities. As a senator, she focused on issues like criminal justice reform, immigration, and racial justice. Her background as a former prosecutor and Attorney General in California gives her a deep understanding of the justice system. Harris has consistently fought to reduce mass incarceration, dismantle systemic racism, and promote fairness, especially for communities historically neglected by the system. Voting for Harris ensures a continued commitment to addressing these deep-rooted issues.
Advocacy for Women's Rights: As the first woman of color to hold the office of Vice President, Harris's leadership breaks significant barriers for women in politics. She has advocated for gender equality, reproductive rights, and policies supporting working families. Her emphasis on pay equity, paid family leave, and affordable childcare speaks to her dedication to improving the lives of women and families across America. Supporting Harris signifies supporting a future where women have more autonomy and opportunities.
Focus on Climate Action: Kamala Harris recognizes climate change as one of the most pressing issues of our time. She has been a vocal supporter of comprehensive climate policies, emphasizing the need for a just transition to renewable energy, green jobs, and holding corporations accountable for environmental damage. Under her leadership as Vice President, the Biden-Harris administration made significant strides towards cleaner energy and rejoining global initiatives like the Paris Climate Agreement. Voting for Harris aligns with the fight for a sustainable planet for future generations.
Economic Recovery and Fairness: Kamala Harris has consistently spoken about economic inequality and the need for a fairer distribution of wealth. As Vice President, she worked on policies aimed at rebuilding the economy post-pandemic, with a focus on supporting small businesses, ensuring workers' rights, and expanding access to healthcare. She supports raising the minimum wage and tax reforms that would benefit the middle and lower-income groups, ensuring a more just economy. Voting for Harris would contribute to a continued focus on creating an economy that works for everyone, not just the wealthiest.
Defender of Democracy and Voting Rights: In recent years, democracy and voting rights have been under attack in various states across the U.S. Kamala Harris has been a strong advocate for protecting voting rights, working on initiatives to make voting more accessible and ensuring that every eligible citizen can exercise their right to vote. She recognizes the importance of combating voter suppression efforts and pushing for reforms like the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. Voting for Harris is a vote to preserve and strengthen democratic values.
Experienced and Capable Leader: Harris has gained extensive experience in her role as Vice President, navigating complex domestic and international issues. She played a crucial role in guiding the country through the pandemic recovery, strengthening alliances globally, and addressing domestic challenges like gun violence and immigration. Her resilience, intellect, and ability to make tough decisions demonstrate her capability to lead effectively.
Supporting Kamala Harris is more than just backing a candidate—it’s about advocating for a progressive, inclusive, and fair future for all Americans.
If we show up we win. If we don't, he wins and our democracy is threatened. He, you know who I am talking about, does not understand what the truth is. He has absolutely no compassion for anyone other than himself. He has no knowledge of what the role of a President is, or how important Allies are, or what economic equity is, or what morality is. He was the worst, and most corrupt President in US history and his second term, if we allow it to happen, will be even worse. Please, up and down the ballet, from your local elections, to your state wide elections, to federal elections it is time to show up and VOTE BLUE.
Please VOTE!!! Help save Democracy by VOTING BLUE.
