I read an article in the Economist recently about how Kamala Harris is an excellent candidate, but questioned whether she can govern well. It worried over her experience with international affairs, her track record with the economy and immigration, etc.
I have thought about this and there are some valid points. I then thought some more and have decided that I don’t care.
The damage that Donald Trump could do as President far outweighs the risk of limited effectiveness of Kamala Harris. She strikes me as having integrity, which is in sharp contrast to her opponent, and I believe that’s important. She sets a decent example and an example of decency. Her speeches are sometimes cringeworthy, but I am hopeful that a) she will surround herself with strong, talented, committed people, and b) she will be a fast learner. I don’t know if either of those hopes are realistic or likely, but I’m willing to take that chance. I’m not willing to take a chance on a Donald Trump presidency. What an asshole.
