I don't envy you the TDS remarks your cogent analysis will inspire from the usual suspects, but hear hear.

I expect to get "she won't accomplish this one or that one or some of this" as a justification for supporting her or preferring her over Trump. So mote it be.

I personally know of two intelligent, college educated women who are voting Harris over just one single issue. That issue, bizarrely, isn't even a federal issue anymore and no president can do anything about it anyway, not without a majority position emerging in Congress, which even Pelosi couldn't achieve despite numerous attempts. So the whole damn country can burn to the ground - over that one issue, which isn't even a federal issue. Here's to hoping this is the last federal election where that issue plays a role. And hoping that it doesn't matter in the end.

Au contraire! Considering the bounty of material available! And, there wasn't a hint of word salad ... just prime filet!

I’m not coordinated enough to hold my nose while marking my ballot. I’m voting for LP candidate Chase Oliver.
