Harris offers best long-term solutions
Minority racial, ethnic or religious groups can't afford to vote for Donald Trump because he aligns himself with white supremacy groups. Trump lies and says nasty things about them and makes misogynistic remarks.
The Republican supermajority in Florida is not allowing diversity, equity, inclusion in schools and is banning books. That means minorities don’t get fair representation. Trump said he wants to be our dictator on Day 1.
Trump was never good in business. His companies went bankrupt six times and his college had to be closed due to false promises. He was a good actor and wants to follow in Don Rickles' footsteps. Rickles specialized in insult comedy, but Trump was not joking when he said soldiers are “losers and suckers.” Trump never served. He is not a patriot.
Trump's economy was OK because it trickled down from the Barack Obama administration. Because of Trump’s tax breaks for the rich, including himself, and COVID, Joe Biden inherited high unemployment and inflation. Biden and Kamala Harris’ many good programs lowered unemployment and inflation.
When I was young, a movie was 25 cents. It will never be that again, but with Democratic majorities in the House and Senate, they can increase the minimum wage, so more people can make a living wage. Republicans will never do that.
Even the rich will not find anywhere to avoid the horrors of climate change: fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and droughts. Trump's only thoughts are about his wealth. Trump and our Republican legislative majority don’t believe in climate change, but Biden and Harris have made many investments in renewable energy industries in the United States. Their Build Back Better jobs and economic recovery plan created good-paying jobs and stimulates clean-energy industries.
