The #NewYorkTimes editorial board has #endorsed #KamalaHarris for president. In an editorial published Monday, the editorial board called #Trump #unfit for office & declared the VP the “only patriotic choice for president.” While the editorial board was harshly critical of Trump, it also suggested #Harris should offer more policy details [🙄] in her campaign & take part in more media interviews [🙄🙄].

[she has done both, which the NYT has barely covered]

Opinion | Kamala Harris is the Only Patriotic Choice for President

Kamala Harris has demonstrated care, competence and respect for the Constitution — the fundamental qualities necessary for high office.

The New York Times

The start of the NYT #endorsement article is pretty good though:

“It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as #president of the #UnitedStates than Donald #Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the #nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally #unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he MOST lacks.

#HarrisWalz2024

“Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of #POTUS: his many #criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in #policy & his increasingly bizarre [#weird] cast of associates.

“This unequivocal, dispiriting truth— #Trump is not fit to be president—should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country & the #stability of our #democracy to deny him re-election.”

Opinion | Kamala Harris is the Only Patriotic Choice for President

Kamala Harris has demonstrated care, competence and respect for the Constitution — the fundamental qualities necessary for high office.

The New York Times

…”we urge Americans to contrast #KamalaHarris’s record w/her opponent’s.

#Harris is more than a necessary alternative. There is also an optimistic case for elevating her, one that is rooted in her policies & borne out by her experience as vice president, a senator & a state attorney general.

“Over the past 10 weeks, Harris has offered a shared future for all citizens, beyond hate & division. She has begun to describe a set of thoughtful plans to help American families.”

#HarrisWalz2024

“While #character is enormously important—in this election, pre-eminently so—policies matter. Many Americans remain deeply concerned about their prospects & their #children’s in an unstable & unforgiving world. For them, #KamalaHarris is clearly the better choice. She has committed to using the power of her office to help Americans better afford the things they need, to make it easier to own a #home, to support #SmallBusinesses & to help workers.

#OpportunityEconomy #HarrisWalz2024

#Trump’s economic priorities are more tax cuts, which would benefit mostly the #wealthy, & more #tariffs, which will make prices even more unmanageable for the #poor & #MiddleClass.

“Beyond the #economy, #KamalaHarris promises to continue working to expand access to #HealthCare & reduce its cost. She has a long record of fighting to protect #WomensHealth & #ReproductiveFreedom.

#Trump spent years trying to dismantle the #ACA & boasts of picking the #SCOTUS justices who ended the constitutional right to #an abortion.
“Globally, #Harris would work to maintain & strengthen the #alliances w/like-minded nations that have long advanced American interests abroad & maintained the nation’s #security. Trump—who has long praised #autocrats like #Putin, #Orban & #KimJongUn —has threatened to blow those democratic alliances apart.
#ReproductiveRights #democracy #law #HarrisWalz2024

#KamalaHarris recognizes the need for global solutions to the global problem of #ClimateChange & would continue President #Biden’s major investments in the industries & #technologies necessary to achieve that goal. Trump rejects the accepted #science, & his contempt for low-#carbon #energy solutions is matched only by his trollish fealty to #FossilFuels.

#ClimateSolutions #ClimateCrisis #ClimateScience #democracy #law #HarrisWalz2024

“As for #immigration, a huge & largely unsolved issue, #Trump continues to #demonize & #dehumanize #immigrants, while #KamalaHarris at least offers #hope for a compromise, long denied by #Congress, to #secure the #borders & return the nation to a sane immigration system.”

#HumanRights #democracy #law #HarrisWalz2024

“…Harris is not wrong… on the clear dangers of returning Trump to office. He has promised to be a different kind of president this time, one who is #unrestrained by checks on #power built into the American political system. His pledge to be ‘a dictator’ on ‘Day 1’ …[was absolutely not] a joke — [as exhibited by] …his undisguised fondness for dictatorships & the strongmen who run them….

“Most notably, he systematically undermined public confidence in the result of the 2020 #election & then attempted to overturn it—an effort that culminated in an #insurrection at the Capitol to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power & resulted in him &some of his most prominent supporters being charged w/ #crimes. He has not committed to honoring the result of this election & continues to insist, as he did at the debate w/ #Harris on Sept 10, that he won in 2020.
#democracy #law #HarrisWalz2024

“He has apparently made a willingness to support his #lies a litmus test for those in his orbit, starting w/ #JDVance….

“His disdain for the rule of #law goes beyond his efforts to obtain #power; it is also central to how he plans to use it. #Trump & his supporters have described a 2025 agenda that would give him the power to carry out the most #extreme of his promises & #threats.

Is there a White Queen School where those aspiring to serve in a Trump administration go to learn to believe impossible things?
