Kamala Harris’s upbringing contrasts with Donald Trump’s, reflecting differing values and ideals based on the concepts of ‘strict father family’ and ‘nurturant family’ outlined by Dr. George Lakoff. Harris embodies courage and effectiveness, supported by her background in justice and equality, and has demonstrated her leadership and strength through her career as a prosecutor and U.S. Senator. Admired for her caring and progressive values, Harris advocates for women’s rights and economic development, making her a symbol of hope in challenging times. Her commitment to justice, empathy, and open dialogue distinguishes her as a compassionate yet action-oriented leader, providing a reassuring example of effective leadership in today’s uncertain political climate.

I voted on the first day of advanced voting today at the Boots Ward Recreation Center on Dallas Highway, Marietta, Georgia. The line was short, but one of the election staff members said my wife and I could go to the front if you are 75 or older. He assumed we were old. We are. We’re in our 80s. So we strolled down the lawn to the door and went right in. I asked another election staff if we could keep hold of our Starbucks coffees. He said, as long as the lid is on. I was amazed. Georgia has a rule that you can’t give out water to others, but you can carry a bottle of water.

Yet, felon Trump is on the ballot.
Donald Trump, a delusional old man, will stand on the same stage as Vice-President Kamala Harris on September 10 in a debate on ABC moderated by David Muir and Linsey Davis. It won’t be a debate. It will be a TV show casting a convicted felon, sexual abuser, and a fraudster against the Vice President who is an experienced prosecutor, district attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, and now as the Vice-President of the United States. ABC news advanced advertising does nothing to point these differences, instead normalizing a criminal with serious psychological and harmful beliefs about America.
