Some Questions for Kamala Harris About Eligibility | Opinion

If the majority of eligible voters decide not to vote, but Trump gets just 51% of the 45% of eligible voters who do vote, guess what? HE GETS TO BE PRESIDENT FOR ANOTHER FOUR YEARS! As I keep saying, we don't get to install "None of the Above" into the White House. In order for Trump to lose, someone else has to win, and that someone else this time around is Joe Biden. Period. There is no third way. You want a third way? Work for it, but understand that it's going to take time. Probably three or four more Presidential elections until we get there. For now, it's Biden or Trump. That's it, whether you like it or not.
Watching television is not an activity.
Been riding the Biden train for a few months now. I'm Centrist when it comes to a lot of things especially in politics, but do lean left. Yeah, I was nervous about Joe speaking. He does stumble at times (the "you ain't black!" and his handling of the sexual harrassment accusation comments come to mind) and there were moments when he misstepped in his speech. But he has a good character and a good heart. Liked how he said he wanted a VP who'd be the last person in the room, who offered that last bit of criticism. It was an indirect reference to Harris and Biden's sparring during the primaries, and others use it to show that Biden is willing to learn from his mistakes. I especially felt it when he went off on Trump's Charlotteville's comments. For me, the best expression of Biden could be seen during his eulogy of Senator McCain last year:
A gentleman who shows respect and honor. So refreshing after nearly 4 years of a reality show president.
Harris brought such a refreshing energy too during the announcement speech. I agree that the "drove everything into the ground" was powerful.
I'm seeing a connection between two types of Democrats here, Biden with his middle class, dream for all possibilities and Harris' social justice and racial equality. Biden has the experience of Washington and White House politics while Harris is fresh and can initiate change. The casual observing would say they are spewing just normal, political rhetoric. But after years of stupid Twitter tweets and incompetence, civility and change are what are needed.
