This election is all about American’s rights. The SCOTUS ruling that POTUS has official immunity puts the President above US law. Americans can no longer say no one is above the law. The President has the power to do whatever he sees fit and there’s nothing anyone can do to stop to him. The President can’t even be questioned. If Trump is elected he will have absolute power to rule as a dictator. Democracy is on the ballot in November. Those who support it must vote against Trump. They may never get another chance if he wins. Women have a further reason to vote against Trump. They know their reproductive health rights are being stripped from them. November's election could be their only chance to win them back. Biden was their only option. They would have voted for him despite his age. Now he’s dropped out their support goes to Kamala Harris. She is a neat fit for her party’s nomination. She is definitely on track to get it. Trump’s nightmare has just begun. Expect a strong voter turnout in November.
A dictatorship is a terrible thought, Al, and let's hope it never comes to pass. You rightly point out that the immunity recognised by the court applies to any president. If Trump loses, fine. But how confident are you that Harris would never use the presidential immunity to act dictatorially? Or any other future president?
Thanks Grant. Yes - it is a serious game changer. I don't for one minute mean to play down the racism and prejudice she will face as a woman in this role (Condeleza Rice once said that while Americans might support an Afro-American as president they will not support a woman) nor do i underestimate Trump's ability to galvinise support from unlikely quarters, but with Harris in the race we now have a contest. It is no longer Trump's election.
Good points, Mark. If I were her strategist (!), I'd nut out a way of turning the inevitable racism and misogyny to her advantage. She rises above it, and doesn't play the victim. Those around her counter it by (e.g.) asking: If the Right don't like critical race and gender theory, why would they (of all people) obsess about any candidate's race and gender?
