I agree with you about what Harris must do to win. And happy birthday!

While war crimes against Palestine are naturally top of your mind, we must remember that wars of greater and lesser scale declared or not, are erupting across the globe and war crimes are rampant across the board. War crimes are not absent from the US record, nor that of any other power struggle since WWII.

Plenty of blame to be cast widely .

The Democratic Party candidate must be acutely aware of the global priorities and be prepared to lead the charge against all the greed and corruption that has overtaken human society. Where once it was more or less hidden, the greed freaks now flaunt their agenda with impunity, aided and abetted by the mentally impoverished legal headliners nominally in charge of our "rule of law" justice apparatus..

In reality, our legal brains seem to have been infected with the capitalist deadly virus of greed and power.

When North Korea Comes to America, Can You Say Coup? https://shorturl.at/VlVDL

And a flashback:

When the Two State Solution Sought is Michigan and Minnesota, and not Israel and Palestine, You Can Expect Another Cackle from Vice President Kamala Harris. https://shorturl.at/JUYXq

She can push what she would like to do in these cases if she has the executive authority to do them however she is not yet the President so she does not have full authority to put those particulars into action yet and it's so amazing that so many people want to advise the Presidents but they don't want to attempt to do the job, just saying. Blessings!

There is one other issue that seems to be forgotten (here). We also need to reign in the Supreme Court (possibly BEFORE doing anything else).

Observation: If Harris becomes President, she’ll likely have a single term. Since I started voting in 1982, months there’s been a pattern that’s emerged. The Democrats get 1-2 terms, then the Republicans get their turn.

The 2 times this didn’t occur there were hanging chads (Gore) & “her emails (Clinton). Both were times the Democrats won the popular vote (Gore actually should have won, but the Supreme Court inserted power- saying it was too late to count the actual votes).

Yes completely agree and I've written extensively on this. Absolutely need to reform and expand the court.

War crimes...

Bro. Qasim, I don't know if Kamala Harris has it in within herself to do those three things, as it requires courage, clarity, and boldness; traits we have not really seen from her these past 4 years as VPOTUS.

We need to keep applying pressure. Time and pressure.

Those three points are the ones most meaningful to me. I'm 72 and was just thinking of my very middle class parents who left my sisters and I a goodly amount that was decimated in 2008. Now I worry about having enough to last for my lifetime, which would have shocked my parents. I'm also horrified that half my taxes go towards funding war, which purpose is to kill as many people as it takes for the other side to cry uncle. Honestly, how primitive can you get? I'm hoping Harris can talk forcefully about this. And I hope she gets some theatrical training, as, I'm sorry to say, this is important to us visually-directed animals.

So do I! It's time to cut the defense budget in half! Why should average Americans always get the short end of the stick when it comes to the budget?💙💙💙💙💙

The Dem candidate needs to talk about THE CLIMATE CRISIS! It affects everyone not only in the US but in the world. The other issues pale in comparison. Harris needs to scare the shit out of people with the facts on climate while Trump says it’s a hoax started in China. THIS IS THE ISSUE.

You know, all we hear about is whether America is ready for a black woman in the White House. And yet no one seems to ask whether the country is ready for a convicted felon, liar, racist, misogynist, mentally deranged old man for president.

Trump will flee from any debate with Kamala.

Bullseye. Those are the precise issues she should be running on. I think she will wipe up the floor with Trump.

Agreed. I hope she elevates these points.
