PS.

I would for vote Kamala. I would vote for a cactus with sunglasses if it had the Democratic nomination. You would do yourself well to consider anything that is weaking the resolve of the anti-trump sentiment straight poison to your brain. We have only one job this novemeber and that is to stop trump. The Supreme Court has given him the status of king. Quit acting like your vote is sacred and start realizing your vote is your final cry before your rights are forfeited.

Yeah. Probably.

If that’s true, what are the policy differences that qualifies them in you mind, vs Biden?

Well Harris has been critical of Israel, and that may have just been part of a communications strategy but it’s all we have to go for now. Other than that she’s far less likely to drop dead in the next 4 years and doesn’t have bouts of senility that can occur at the worst times. (Let’s be real, that debate hasn’t been properly explained, the white house is holding on to jet lag from a trip two weeks before the debate.) The pro corporate shit isn’t likely to change. And that’s something we’ll have to keep working on.

Newsom is the same. He hasn’t been directly critical of Israel but he has reached out to support the Palestinian community in California. Which is probably more important and real to his position as governor. But he’s a center dem just like Harris. And he’s also not likely to drop dead.

Both candidates will inherit many of Biden’s cabinet and staff and continue his policies. Newsom might take a lighter touch with immigration, (he’d have to frame it as trimming Biden’s EO to protect it from the courts), but other than that I don’t expect huge differences. Even differences I’d like to see.

Very reasonable expectations.

Maybe I’m not understanding your Biden position, then. It sounded like you refused to vote for Biden if he’s the nominee.

But you seem to be OK with his policies, minus his handling of Isreal. But you also acknowledge that little is likely to change under the other frontrunners, besides maybe being a little more sympathetic towards Gazians.

And given that you also expect him to drop dead or become mentally incapacitated in the next 4 years, it seems like Harris taking the baton is exactly what you want.

So why is a Biden vote completely unreasonable to you? Or is that not your position?
