It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has repeatedly proved that he lacks the qualities of honesty, wisdom, compassion, humility and rationality, which are so essential to leading our nation.
For example:
• While president, he neglected his duties, extorted our ally and mishandled the pandemic in order to help his reelection campaign.
• He coddled the world’s worst autocrats and tried to remove the U.S. from our most important alliance, NATO, while giving tax cuts to the rich and ballooning the nation’s deficit.
• Ultimately, unable to admit defeat, he attempted to overthrow the election with false electors and a violent insurrection.
• He is a hateful, self-obsessed and faltering leader who leads through instilling fear and division.
To those who support democracy, good governance and freedom, please vote for Kamala Harris and not a self-absorbed, election denying con man.
