Yet, in every single conversation we’ve ever had about VP Harris, this person takes an angry, absolutist stance that she is a TERRIBLE choice. Why? Because, she’s bought into the Trump Cult’s lies. (End)
It taught me that far too many only have contrarian views and never stop to consider what they may be looking FOR. Because, when that person finally was able to name what they wanted in a candidate, they listed EVERY. SINGLE. THING. KAMALA HARRIS. IS. RUNNING. ON. (Contd)…
