The Case for Kamala Harris Over Trump Is Totally Obvious

Ross Douthat argues that the choice for president is not obvious. He focuses on a series of issues where the left has made mistakes, failing to recognize that Trump’s position on all these things is much worse.

“While no one would claim that #women are a monolith who support any one #party or #agenda, there is #evidence that women #govern differently, working more collaboratively across party lines and introducing #legislation on issues that have historically gone unaddressed.”

I have been informed that discussing #Biden's #age is an "information operation."

It is not an "information operation" to state that the two major party #candidates are both the oldest people to run for #President, just like they were the last time they ran.

It is not an #InformationOperation to talk about how the two party system had destroyed #American #government.

It is not an "information operation" to expect candidates to make the case to #voters as to why they should have to job.

#Gerontocracy is a real thing and it IS destroying this country because of rabidly #partisan #hacks have made it impossible to have a serious discussion about #electing the county dog catcher.

Brazil's system wouldn't necessarily work here, based on this description. But #electing the winner of the national #popularvote President might.
