Ok, here’s a Kamala Harris endorsement
She is the obvious choice
In an era where powerful and august publications refuse to take a stance in the presidential election, The Long Trade will not follow their lead and is endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
A large amount of ‘sanewashing’ of Donald Trump has occurred in the media, much of it owned by billionaires. So much of the election has been a debate about the type of debate that should be occurring—is it a business-as-usual assessment of competing policy choices? Or is it an election where sound democracy could well be at stake?
That kind of disconnect can lead to strange experiences like reading “grades” given to presidential picks in a crypto app where Harris is rated N/A for “Not Enough Information” and Trump is rated “A” as “strongly supportive of crypto.” This not only credulously relies on pandering public statements but also ignores Trump’s lousy record on crypto while in office.
Women’s rights are a key part of this year’s race, and it is hard for the Republicans to run away from their record—especially when they are using phrases like “whether the women like it or not.” Trump’s Supreme Court picks were pivotal in taking abortion rights away from millions of women in America, whereas Harris is running to give women reproductive freedom across the country.
The policies proposed by Harris are much more likely to keep the economy growing and inflation under control. But the policies are only part of the matter—Harris is running as a moderate Democrat, while Trump is running on punishing what he calls ”the enemy from within.” Much of America is voting for this kind of vindictiveness and hatred—so more people than that need to vote for the vision of Harris and Walz.
