Who is that woman on the right? Are we supposed to recognize her or something?

    What exactly do you think the alternative is here? Not voting just surrenders what little power the electoral process does give you. Even if electoral politics aren’t a meaningful way to advance your vision of a better country, this is still an opportunity, however small, to reduce the harm that will be done under a Trump presidency. Like, even if you don’t expect Harris to meaningfully improve things (and there are a lot of areas where a former cop probably shouldn’t be expected to), the alternative is someone who continues to actively promise to make those same areas even worse.

      Characterizing her as just a “former cop” isn’t fair. She was a district attorney, then an attorney general, then a senator, then vice president.
