"While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term," Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.

Harris is a cop: Trump is a felon. Does it get anymore poetic than that?

next debate, she should bring a pair of handcuffs out and set them on the podium for everyone to see, don't say shit a about them and just have the debate

Did you like when Harris was a cop and she argued for keeping prisoners past their release date because they needed the prison labor?

Or what about when she enabled the abuse of trans prisoners?

Or what about when she led to the criminalization of black parents to address truancy problems?

(Also if you think this is a pro-Trump post you are incorrect)

I 100% agree. In 2016, she got dead last in my preference for Democrat candidates, and that was completely validated when Tulsi Gabbard completely wrecked her. In the last 4 years, she did absolutely nothing to gain my confidence in her. I don't believe she's a good person, a good politician, or even a good candidate.

But somehow she's better than Trump. Maybe. I'm actually not sure anymore, because police and prison reform are really high on my list of priorities.

I'm definitely not voting for Trump, that's a given, but I'm most likely not voting for Harris. If I lived in a swing state, maybe I'd reconsider, but I don't so I'm not throwing my vote away to a candidate I strongly dislike. I hope Trump loses, but I don't necessarily hope Harris wins. Screw them both, Trump should be locked up and Harris should stay home.
