The closer we get to the election, the louder is Trump's bellowing, the subtext of which is frequently racist and misogynistic. His relentless campaign to stir up his followers through anger and resentment continues to divide our country. 

Below are links to some voices that counter Trump's nasty narrative and rationally outline the case for everyone, particularly men, to vote for Kamala.

Summarizing: Vote for her because she is... "1. A calm, steady leader... 2. A reproductive-rights advocate...  3. A health care defender... 4. A unifier... 5. A step forward..."

Key quote: "... voting Harris into office may indicate that people don’t want to shove women into a separate sphere... We’re voting on a lot of things, but among them is that version of leadership and our evaluation of these gendered versions of it,” Dittmar said. “As well as, even more broadly, our sense of the appropriate roles of women, the ways in which women should be treated by our political leaders.”

Highlight: "... Brothers, as we used to say, don’t go for the okey-doke. It’s a con game from a known con man. Yes, Kamala Harris embraces both her Black/Jamaican and Indian ancestry, but she went to Howard University and joined the historically Black Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and, as a senator, the Congressional Black Caucus. She recalls her mother, an immigrant who understood the racial dynamics of this county, stated her intent to raise her two daughters as free Black women. Vote for the Sister who knows who she is and has your best interest at heart."

SO GO VOTE!!

As Barack says, "Don't boo...VOTE!"  Don't just get pissed about Trump or waste time arguing with your crazy uncle. Make sure you take action and vote for a smart, positive representative of a new generation of leaders... VOTE FOR KAMALA!!
