Kamala Harris

My top three picks for president this year were: Andrew Yang, Tulsi Gabbard and Kamala Harris. The most important political issue hands down, far above the environment or universal health care, is and basically always has been Universal Basic Income (UBI). I say that from a Utopian perspective like Elon Musk, not from a socialist perspective which demands instead a guaranteed jobs program.

Tulsi Gabbard eventually came around to the idea of a UBI but it was very late in the game. For most of the primaries it was only Yang and Harris that were talking about UBI. It is is very clear Harris is a more experienced politician than Yang and has her head around virtually every other public policy issue much better than Yang does, especially on the next two most important political issues: the environment and universal health care.

Gabbard is the president we wanted, Harris is the president we need.

Some say "Harris is a cop." This is the most childish statement of the last few decades I have heard. The most effective direction to change an organization is from within, and no other presidential or vice presidential candidate EVER understands the criminal justice system better than Harris.

Some will have an issue with her ethnicity. For those I ask you: have you met a harder working group of people than Jamaicans or people from the Indian subcontinent? She's BOTH of those, born in the USA, turned high level PROSECUTOR. Believe me, you do NOT have a problem with this woman.

Some say Harris is not loyal enough. The fact that Biden is willing to have Harris as as his Vice President shows that he's capable of taking serious, brutal feedback (unlike Trump.) When it comes to loyalty, you want the people who will tell you when you are walking down the street with your zipper down, the emperor needs to know when he has no clothes!

Harris is such an ideal presidential candidate that I am willing to hold my nose and vote for Biden in order to get her elected as Vice President. I would be able to say the same for Gabbard, Yang, and believe it or not Pence. Any of the other democratic candidates? Nope. Any other GOP besides Pence? Romney. (Pence and Romney are both pioneers of Universal Health Care.)

We need people who understand our era, who can put the constant culture war battles to the side long enough to work on the issues that make a REALLY matter.
