The 2024 Presidential Election is upon us! It is time to shoulder our responsibility as citizens and vote for our choice to be the president of our country.

In our (modified by the electoral college) representative democracy, the majority is supposed to decide who will act on our behalf and in our interest to set policies and implement them. In order for this to work well, everyone must make their choice and vote accordingly. Otherwise, a minority who vote consistently can override the choice of a general population who votes inconsistently.

In this election, our choice is clear:

A vote for Kamala Harris is a choice for democratic values and calm, effective leadership at a time when our world is in crisis from global warming, food and water insecurity, and war. 

A vote for Donald Trump is a choice re-enable an autocrat who seeks to escape accountability for criminal acts and force the government to serve his family, friends, enablers and himself.

We are not just voting for a person this election; we are voting for a government.

We can choose a government focused on helping the wealthy through tax cuts, social service cuts, corruption of our legal framework, and erosion of our rights as individuals to be secure from unwarranted police action.

Or we can choose a government focused on providing security and opportunity for those less well-off, the recognition of the value of science in helping overcome the challenges of climate change, and on honesty, trustworthiness, liberty and democracy.

Vote for the government you want. Choose wisely.
