For all those wanting to know why you shouldn't vote for Trump, here it is.
About as simple and black and white as they come...
"Retired federal appeals court Judge J. Michael Luttig, a prominent conservative legal scholar put on the bench by President George H.W. Bush, is endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris over former President Donald Trump, whose candidacy he describes as an existential threat to American democracy.
It will be the first time Luttig, a veteran of two Republican administrations, has voted for a Democrat.
“In the presidential election of 2024 there is only one political party and one candidate for the presidency that can claim the mantle of defender and protector of America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law,” Luttig wrote in a statement obtained exclusively by CNN. “As a result, I will unhesitatingly vote for the Democratic Party’s candidate for the Presidency of the United States, Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.”
Luttig played a now famous role in persuading then-Vice President Mike Pence to defy Trump and certify the 2020 presidential election. In a series of tweets drafted at the request of Pence’s attorney, Luttig spelled out in stark terms the legal rationale for Pence to reject the former president’s attempt to overturn Joe Biden’s victory.
Since then, Luttig has emerged as a preeminent constitutional critic of Trump. In endorsing Harris, Luttig argues that partisan distinctions must, in this election, be set aside in order to prevent the “singularly unfit” Trump from returning to the White House.
“In voting for Vice President Harris, I assume that her public policy views are vastly different from my own,” Luttig writes, “but I am indifferent in this election as to her policy views on any issues other than America’s Democracy, the Constitution, and the Rule of Law, as I believe all Americans should be.”
Trump is such an existential threat to democracy (Someone got his talking points) that he is not only not voting for Trump, but voting for a candidate that is a full blown Socialist at best. That doesn't make sense.For all those wanting to know why you shouldn't vote for Trump, here it is.

Run with it then. Tell all those regular joes that there should be no minimum wage, and that unions are to blame for their troubles. And tell all those seniors that they should get off the government teet. If they didn't plan well for retirement or a medical emergency, then eff off, that's your own fault. Also, make sure you close with how much you love Jesus and believe in his teachings.The only use of the min wage is to pump up wages for union labor. It's not useful in any other way

No regular Joe makes min wage. The seniors on the teat are the ones who have put this country in peril. I'm not much of a church goer at this timeRun with it then.
