PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ISSUES
ON EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE CENTRAL ISSUES
KAMALA IS IN A MORE FAVORABLE POSITION
THAN eXP (eXPotus)!
#1 DEMOCRACY
Kamala intends to honor her oath to “support and defend the constitution of
the United States” as she has done in all her previous positions – as prosecutor,
Senator, and Vice President of the United States.
eXP IS A CONVICTED FELON, who SAYS, PUBLICLY, he intends to
be a dictator on Day 1.
eXP violated his oath to “support and defend the
constitution of the United States” on Jan 6, 2021.
Project 2025 is a description of HIS PLANS for the
government to be taken over by a dictatorial regime, to be used to convert the
government into an organization to work for the interests of the eXP and rich
businessmen, at the expense of all other Americans.
SCOTUS has given POTUS immunity – essentially no check on
POTUS’ powers. When eXP was POTUS, people who were his senior staff constantly
held him back from attempts on using dictatorial powers – his attempt to ignore the Constitution and laws, for example, to use the army to attack US citizens, and to
impound voting machines.
He became an insurrectionist when he tried to overthrow the elected government of the US on Jan 6, 2021 with a violent mob, to disrupt the certification of the 2020 election.
With the new POTUS immunity ruling, eXP would be unhindered in his self-dealing.
We cannot choose to lose our LIBERTY.
Patriots say, "Give me liberty or give me death!" eXP plans to take that away.
KAMALA HARRIS IS FAVORED ON THE ISSUE OF DEMOCRACY!
#2 CHARACTER
eXP is a proven liar, a convicted felon, guilty of committing election law violations and fraudulently concealing the payoffs. He was found guilty of massive civil fraud. His “charity” was found guilty of fraud. A jury found him guilty of sexual abuse. Numerous accusations have not been resolved, for example, that his relationships with Epstein permitted him to commit acts of pedophilia, He has bragged of walking through the dressing room while the young female contestants of his teen “beauty pageant” were dressing. He bragged that he could just grab women. He publicly mocked people with disabilities. He provoked violence – for example when he told the audience, including armed white nationalists, on Jan 6, 2021 to “fight like hell”. He had three wives. He cheated on them.
Note: If you have a strong stomach and you do not believe how vulgar eXP is, then watch this clip: https://x.com/ananavarro/status/1852687230063476779
He said he believes in winning. He does not say he believes in making the lives of every American better.
Kamala has no character issues.
We cannot elect a man of such terrible moral character to the most important office in the world, Our Presidency!
KAMALA HARRIS IS FAVORED ON THE ISSUE OF CHARACTER!
#3 NATIONAL SECURITY
eXP has given credence to Putin over domestic intelligence. He has said he has a great relationship with Putin. He has "love letters" from Kim Jong Un.
During his administration, Russia was given free rein to act in the Middle East. eXP scrapped the nuclear treaty with Iran, ending the agreed deterrence, allowing them to come within a very short time of being able to deploy nuclear weapons. He allowed North Korea to make great strides in developing their nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles. He negotiated a disastrous end to the war in Afghanistan, not admitting the Afghan government into the process, letting the Taliban loose, so they were in control of the country, and releasing the current leader of the Taliban from jail, and not even not communicating during the transition with the Biden administration.
eXP has favored autocratic leaders over our allies. Here is one example:
"Our allies are worse than our so-called enemies:
https://x.com/i/status/1852471847822262695/
He denounced NATO, the prime military alliance keeping peace in Western Europe. He tried to corrupt the Ukrainian government by blackmailing them to try to get "dirt" on the Biden family. (He was impeached for this, but not convicted in the Senate by the GOP.)
He waffled on China. Sometimes trying to blame them for the COVID crisis. Sometimes praising XI. He increased tariffs on some products, raising American prices, and causing problems for American farmers, which led him to create a payout to American farmers.
On one occasion he revealed sensitive classified data to Russia. He had secret conversations with the Russians, destroying any transcripts, possibly* contrary to American laws. (*Note: The immunity decision by GOP SCOTUS Justices may have "de-illegaled" acts like these.)
He absconded with extremely highly classified documents when he exited the White House, and left them in unsecured semi-public locations at Mar-a-Lago. He did not return them when they were subpoenaed. He was indicted for these actions. He revealed some classified document information to one or more people without appropriate security clearances.
He took actions in the Middle East that were provocative, increasing the tension with Iran, possibly stoking the "fires" that let to the Oct 7 pogrom in Israel. He was very supportive of MBS in Saudi Arabia, dismissing the murder of American Journalist Khashogghi. Very shortly after eXP left the White House, Saudi Arabia invested at least $2B in a fund managed by Jared Kushner, eXP's daugher Ivanka's husband.
During his administration it is estimated the eXP made millions of dollars in rentals and fees from foreign dignitaries staying at his properties, in possible violation of the emoluments clause in the Constitution.
The Biden-Harris administration has repaired relations with our allies in Europe, Asia and the rest of the world. They are supporting Israel's defense, while trying to provide humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians. They have taken a strong lead in trying to repatriate the hostages, and develop a long-term peace. They developed an alliance that helped Israel defend against Iranian missile attacks.
They have taken a strong stand, and developed a strong alliance to defend Ukraine, with sending any American soldiers into battle.
The strong defense by the Biden-Harris administration of Democracy and the Rule of Law, has preserved the role of the USA as leader of the free world, and the Dollar$ as the center of world finance.
KAMALA HARRIS IS FAVORED ON THE ISSUE OF NATIONAL SECURITY!

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION ISSUES #4 THE ECONOMY, #5 IMMIGRATION, #6 WOMEN'S HEALTH
The denial by SCOTUS of the right to an abortion, and the resulting ferocious and terrible attack on women and their health by GOP controlled legislatures, governors and exP (the ex POTUS, aka T), is more than a political issue. It is a fundamental misuse of government power that exP is responsible for, and Kamala is pledged to correct.
THE ECONOMY and IMMIGRATION are political issues. Although exP may think that THE ECONOMY & IMMIGRATION are the GOP’s strongest issues, in fact, both the historical record, and their future plans give the advantage to Harris as our future President.
#4 THE ECONOMY
exP's actions as President, before Biden-Harris took office, are the cause of the inflation spike. Then, after inauguration, the Biden Harris administration fixed the problem (without a recession)!!! Inflation is now at normal levels, stock prices - and the related retirement savings - are at a record high, and the economy is the strongest in the world.
exP’s plans to impose heavy tariffs on many, many imports (tariffs are beautiful , he says); and, to drill, drill, drill (oil); and, to deport immigrants, will be a repeat of the mistakes he made when he was in office, and will raise prices again.
Kamala’s plan for her Presidency consists of diverse measures to keep household expenses low, while raising wages.
Specifically, inflation was caused by exP’s actions during his term, including
a) Conspiring with Saudi Arabia to raise oil prices (in a video, he brags about doing this);
b) Putting tariffs on inexpensive products from China and other countries, making them more expensive;
c) Mishandling the COVID crisis, leading to a breakdown in the supply chain;
d) Mishandling immigration, preventing immigrants from contributing to the country (immigrant labor is an essential part of the American economic system);
e) Giving a tax break to billionaire$, raising the debt;
f) Repatriating billion$ of dollars from overseas, allowing a large supply of money to enter the US, which was then dispersed to rich investors; (an increase in the money supply is a direct cause of inflation).
These inflationary pressures did not raise prices during exP’s administration because his mishandling of COVID prevented people from pursuing normal economic behavior, and caused massive unemployment. When you are in isolation, or afraid to travel, or sick, or caring for sick loved ones, or out of work, you do not spend money. COVID drastically reduced demand for many things, and kept prices artificially low.
Once the Biden-Harris COVID team successfully began to vaccinate the population, and the level of COVID infections rapidly declined, people began again to spend the money they could not spend doing exP’s term, and then prices rose.
Biden-Harris then fixed the supply-chain, provided financial relief to people who needed money, jump-started employment with the Chips Act and infrastructure bill (something exP had talked about constantly without ever doing), and used executive power to reduce certain costs, such as some medicines, and other costs caused by corporate greed, (such as excessively raising prices - price gouging).
During her administration Kamala is pledged to execute a variety of consumer-cost-reducing strategies, improving household purchasing power.
#5 IMMIGRATION
During exP's term, the conditions in several Central American and South American countries were driving people seeking a better life to try to re-settle in America. Unfortunately, in 2016, the immigration system was not prepared to handle the number of potential immigrants. While exP recognized the problem, he failed catastrophically to execute a solution. exP simply does not know how to run an organization for the benefit of anyone but himself. exP did not fix the immigration process. His attempt to build a wall to keep immigrants out and have México pay for it, failed completely. Only a few miles of wall were built, and they were useless against the number of immigrants. Of course, Mexico paid nothing. exP even diverted some money funded and needed for other purposes, to his wall project.
His treatment of immigrants was inhumane and un-American, forcibly separating parents and children and providing unacceptable living conditions for some migrants. exP’s failure to provide a path to citizenship for earlier legal immigrants was a source of great pain for the immigrant community, and his restrictions on the ability of immigrants to work helped cause inflation by contributing to the collapse of the supply chain.
The Biden-Harris administration helped some of the South American and Central American countries to improve the living conditions in those countries, they worked with Mexico to control the flow of immigrants through Mexico to the US, and brought the number of immigration crossings down to a low level.
The Biden-Harris administration worked with Conservative Republicans to draft legislation that would improve every aspect of the immigration process. However, exP said, explicitly, that fixing the immigration process with this bill would prevent him from campaigning on the immigration issue and the GOP, although they co-wrote the bill, should defeat it. They did.
In this flagrant example of hypocrisy, and lack of serious interest in improving the lives of Americans, exP told the GOP to defeat the bill because he did not want to fix the problem, he wanted to campaign on the claim that it was broken. exP talks in vague language about how the USA is broken, but he does not want to improve it. With Project 2025, in fact, he has a plan to make conditions in the US better for big companies and wealthy donors, and worse for everyone else.
His future plan for immigration, he has bragged, would include a “bloody” mass roundup of immigrants, incarceration, and mass deportations. This would be inhumane, anti-American, would ruin the USA’s reputation throughout the world, and seriously damage the economy.
#6 WOMEN'S HEALTH
SCOTUS’ decision on “abortion,” which has been celebrated by exP and GOP led legislatures, is being used, not just to prevent abortions, but even more ominously to deny healthcare to women, leading already to absolutely unnecessary deaths, and to provide a pretext for surveillance of the medical and travel records of women. For government officials (not necessarily even lawyers or judges) to take responsibility for a woman’s medical treatment away from doctors, would seem to be medical malpractice and a violation of the equal protection clause of the constitution.
GOP state legislatures have been using "abortion law" to deny women full medical services. It is a disgrace & unconstitutional: Amendment 14.1 - "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Kamala will work to restore Roe v Wade, and to provide responsible medical treatment for women, and prevent surveillance of women, either as a new court ruling, or as national legislation.
THE BOTTOM LINES
exP has conducted an old man's rambling, often incoherent, downbeat campaign -- complaining that the USA is a failing country, threatening his political opponents, insulting cities and ethnic groups, lying and celebrating Nazi code-words, delusionally calling his Madison Square Garden Nazi tribute rally, and the Jan 6 violent riot and insurrection a "love fest".
The USA can not afford exP.
Kamala has executed a brilliant campaign. She will bring in a bi-partisan, new-generation group of experts, committed to improving the lives of Americans, as her Cabinet and staff.
We need Kamala.
