Kamala Harris wird Präsidentin | Die Vizepräsidentin hat die grundlegenden Werte und politischen Fähigkeiten an den Tag gelegt, die es ihr ermöglichen würden, ein für alle Mal dazu beizutragen, eine von Donald Trump definierte giftige Ära zu beenden.

We’re not going back
Is Kamala really giving it her all? Where are her shoes? Her silver coins? Her NFTs and crypto? Where is her custom signed holy bible? Where are her timberlands and her silver necklaces?
I cannot wait to put this awful, dark period of hatred and division behind us. Defeating MAGA at the polls will be a great start but there remains a lot to do after that. The far right have stocked the courts with their authoritarian ideologues. 40% of the voting electorate or more has been captured by a political ideology that can only be described as fascist. If everything goes right, it will take a generation to root out the remnants of MAGA.
The headline is obviously true to anybody who has studied Trump’s lies and hateful fascism. In comparison, Kamala Harris is a very reasonable and much better qualified person for the job of President.
She’s beautiful and full of class. Trump is an embarrassment. This guy has played and continues to play on the emotions of all Americans and make a mockery of our institutions and constitution… How so many Americans voted for someone so despicable is unfathomable.
This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/10/07/kamala-harris-for-president-endorsement) reduced by 98%. (I’m a bot)

> No responsible assessment of the contest has the luxury of focussing only on the imperatives for a Harris Administration and gliding past the ramifications of another Trump Administration.
> Trump's record on the environment is the worst of any President in modern history.

Highly recommend, a detailed, outstanding endorsement from the editors. A snippet…

Yes PLEASE
We’re so demoralized as a nation we’re willing to accept anyone who “displays the basic values and political skills”.
Pack it up folks. It’s over.
Our Democracy gives us the power to change our leaders. It took a lot of years, pain and suffering to win that right, and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. So, if you want to keep our Democracy, now’s a good time to wake the fuck up and vote for country over party.
Bars low to be fair
One interesting suggestion I’ve heard is that lawmakers should be encouraged to bring their families to Washington as they used to. When they did that their children played together, they socialised. They saw members of the other party as human beings. Apparently Newt Gingrich put an end to that somehow.
Absolutely!!
Could and should have done it with Hillary (8 years, not a lifetime, ago). The electorate chose Trump though, for some mad/misogynistic/uneducated/uncultured/racist/repressed reasons.
Kamala’s immediately handicapped by being both a woman and not white – it’s most likely why the polls are so close.
What has she done as VP that makes her a solid candidate?
Of course! Trump’s policies are simple, like “run spot run”. Only a few sentences .
He’s an imbecile.

Yes its true trump is just a destroyer
Agreed completely though the reality is I’d also vote for a steaming pile of doo doo over the other option in a heartbeat. Huge bonus points that she looks to be a genuinely good candidate and not just other option compared to absolute horrible insanity.
Nothing against Harris’s political skills, but I don’t think 8 years will be enough time to fix it. Hopefully those years can set us on a path towards fixing it. It’s much faster and easier to break something than it is to fix it.
Trump is our only hope to save this country that Kamala Harris is destroying! Trump 2024! MAGA!
Unfortunately half the country still wants more poisonous eras.
And for some reason these people think voting for him means they’re immune to said poison. It’s bonkers.
Ummm… they might want to rework the graphic. I thought the thumbnail was Darth Vader for a second.
Thanks New Yorker. Now work on getting a better mayor next time.
“once and for all”
yea its not going away, we are probably around cut 250 of death by 1000 paper cuts
I can’t wait to go back to brunch!!!
Trump hasnt been president for four years, what era is she going to fix again?
VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.
Austria is the latest country to be compromised by the evil (and that is what a fascistic ideology that capitalizes on the ignorance and xenophobia of the public can rightly be called) of the extreme right wing.
Do not equivocate between the two candidates in this race. Prove yourself responsible for a modicum of order and functionality in your country.
Do not hesitate to call out lies and bigotry where you find them. A foreign adversary will often be recognized as such by the public, but America’s domestic enemies use the expectation of civility in political discourse to dull you to the threat that they represent.
VOTE.
America, swing state voters: We can do this! This old orange assclown’s time is up! It’s time to send a clear message to the haters, racists, misogynists that enough is enough! Vote!
Please, please. let it be so.
The trumper’s fear of accountability AND “what about-me-ism” is gone on too long.
Like a hoarder’s kitchen sink; stagnence, maggots, and piled dirty dishes. The stink and visual presence is a blight in our nation.
It’s time for bleach and scrubbing.
Yes. It will be the end of an American Error when Trump is defeated and sent to the ash-heaps of history.
Don’t get complacent. Kamala isn’t going to end the Trump era unless she’s willing to eliminate what built it up – the regressive GOP. If we don’t want another Trump, we have to move left, far left. Biden isn’t willing to do that, and unfortunately I doubt Kamala is either.
She’s can’t control who the republicans choose to nominate/venerate. It’s why people were dissatisfied with Biden. Everyone who voted for Biden assume it would banish Trump once and for all.
