@HistoPol @randy I get what you're trying to say, it's important to put our strongest candidate forward. But to me the lingering question is "why isn't that Kamala Harris, why isn't it the person who we ALREADY elected to be president should Biden not be able fulfill his duties?"

When people suggest a white man like Newsom, without even acknowledging why it shouldn't be Harris, it just sends the message that people like me are a "nice to have, but not this time. Maybe next time!" This is the closest we've ever been to a woman being president, to an Asian person being president. And to just pass on Harris would make me think "people like me are never going to be enough here."

I'm gonna vote blue no matter, I know the stakes here. And I know trump is way worse, of course. But sitting out doesn't mean someone is supporting Trump, it means they feel like they aren't included so why even bother?
