Imagine, if you can....what if Kamala Harris had been elected POTUS.

* There would have been no stupid tariffs.
* We'd be leading NATO in support of Ukraine.
* There'd have never been an Iran War, because Epstein Files.
* No Trump Gestapo waging domestic war against American cities.
* Most likely we'd have renegotiated with Iran to put the Obama nuclear framework back in place.
* We would have a fantastic trade/cultural relationship with our Canadian friends, American trade requires 2 way communication.
* we need to stop the war against brown people. We need them to succeed in the 21st century.

get over their racism. I’m not fully convinced these people fall for the lies but more so use the lies to justify their racism. These people wouldn’t pay these lies any mind if they weren’t racists.

And if Harris were president everybody would be happily whining and moaning and criticizing, like they did with Biden, about breaking promises and not doing enough and the usual endless complaining.

and the fact that the "pro-Palestine" people seem to have disappeared while conditions in Gaza have gotten even worse.

and would be spending money on our public schools and schoolteachers instead of losing billions of dollars to the current grifter-in-chief and his family and friends. Environmental protections would still be in place. The climate crisis would be addressed. We would not be lightyears behind China in the production of electric cars.

The list goes on and on and on.

There would still be issues to solve, but we wouldn’t be in this insane predicament that continues to beset us.

Or the Gulf of Mexico.

It would be the Kennedy Center.

Speaking of someone named Kennedy . . .

The East Wing would be intact . . . the Rose Garden, too.

J6ers would be rotting away in jail.

We would not have over 4,000 measles cases.

I could go on and on but you get the picture.

Harris herself said that wasn't going to change if she were elected.

”Let me be very clear. I’m unequivocal and unwavering in my commitment to Israel’s defense and its ability to defend itself. And that’s not gonna change.” -- Kamala Harris, CNN Interview, August 29, 2024
