It’s hard to know where to start. This election comes down to whether or not we want to reward someone who tried to subvert our democracy four years ago. Whether we want to preserve the alliances that have kept the peace since World War II. Whether women want to resist losing rights they long thought secure. (It’s abortion now, and IVF and contraception next.) Whether we want two new extremists on the Supreme Court for decades to come. Whether we want basic competence in the White House, or a mentally declining chaos agent calling the shots. And whether we want to honor basic facts, or nihilistically promote conspiracy theories that erode any sense of truth.
It’s discouraging that it’s even close, but nine years into this fever dream, we shouldn’t be surprised that we’re heading towards another razor-thin election. Above, Kamala Harris tells Howard Stern, “Let’s not throw up our hands. Let’s roll up our sleeves, because this is our country.” We’d urge you to take action and vote on November 5, or forever hold your peace. This is your chance to have a say.
