Kamala Harris, Prospective Veep

[ndrosen]

Mr. Biden has made his vice-presidential selection and he chose Kamala Harris, whose record as a prosecutor and politician does not delight me. It used to be that conventions actually chose vice-presidential nominees for geographic and ideological balance, but even if that were happening this year, the nod might go to Senator Harris, or someone like her. I was hoping for Stacey Abrams.

I do not plan to vote Democrat; I have contributed to Jo Jorgensen’s campaign, and plan to vote for her. However, since the Libertarians are highly unlikely to win the election, I do at least hope to see Trump removed from the White House, and I can think of better potential removers, even within the Demopublican duopoly, than Biden and Harris. But I don’t always get what I want.

I don’t like Democrat’s nominee also and however want just to remove Trump from White House and unfortunately doesn’t have a choice this year. In this case maybe god idea to skip this year election? What do you think?

Where do you live? If your state is pretty well assured to be in either Trump’s pocket or Biden’s regardless of how people who who aren’t pleased with either major party ticket vote, then I suggest voting for a candidate whom you actually approve of. If you live in a swing state, then you may at least consider voting for Biden on the grounds that, with all his faults, he isn’t Trump.

I live in California and will follow you suggestion for voting for someone else because California will vote for Biden/Harris anyway and thank you for your suggestion!
