Points of View

On October 23, 2024, Kamala Harris said at a Town Hall that "we have to get past the era of partisan politics." I understand her strategy. The idea that these times are bigger than partisan politics is easy for disaffected liberals to accept and cast a begrudging vote for Harris at the end of the day. The argument is as simple as it is stark: Trump is far worse. With the intent of overturning Roe v. Wade, Trump appointed justices to the Supreme Court who eventually did just that, removing Americans' constitutional right to get an abortion.
