I hereby endorse Kamala Harris in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election. This may be one of the easiest endorsements I've ever made for a number of different reasons:
First, the American President is our nation's face to the rest of the world. Not only does the Vice President have common-sense positions on the vast majority of the issues, but she also clearly understands the seriousness of the position and the way a U.S. President should behave and conduct themselves. As was said in the movie The American President, "Being President of this country is entirely about character." Kamala seems to embody this concept wholeheartedly, and I believe would conduct herself admirally in the role of President.
In comparison, former President Trump has too many character defects to count: He was impeached twice, staged an unsuccessful insurrection that results in multiple deaths and hundreds of injuries, was convicted of 34 felonies, has been found liable for rape, and has had to settle numerous fraud allegations made against him.
Second, as has become clear, former President Trump has been selling himself as a man of peace who opposes war, but the simple fact of the matter is, former President's arguments in favor of peace is little more than a thinny veiled policy of comprimising with dictators and betraying both our nation's allies and the interests of the free world.
By comparison, Kamala Harris understands the importance of standing with our allies, and grasps the concept that the entirety of the free world is stronger together. The importance of this couldn't be more important given that America will only be the leader of the free world so long as we're willing to actually lead and defend our friends and allies.
Lastly, this Presidential election is about more than who will occupy the White House for the next four years. It's also about who will sit on the U.S. Supreme Court for years - perhaps even decades - to come. At the current time, the Supreme Court has lost a significant amount of credibility in the eyes of the American people after stripping women of their reproductive rights and making a number of other decisions that have upended years of judicial precident. While former President Trump is responsible for appointing several of the justices responsible for the recent decline in the Court's credibility among the American people, Vice President Harris is likely to appoint justices that have a good chance of not only restoring credibility to the Court, and also repair much of the damage done by Trump's previous appointees.
From my perspective, after what happened on January 6th, President Trump shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office again. He's proven to the nation that he lacks the moral compasss, the intellect, or the character to represent our great nation. In contrast, Kamala Harris appears to represent the best of who we are, both on the issues and in terms of character... and that's why I'm casting my vote in favor of her becoming the next American President.
