My response to you is going to have 2 parts. First will be an answer to your question with reasons for supporting my answer (numbered for convenience). The second part will be an exploration of your verbiage because I find it deeply interesting as it indicates a perceptual demonization of me, a stranger, whose politics you know very little about and I think it's really interesting that you (and every other person in Trump's orbit) parrots when they think they've encountered opposition in the form of critical thought.

Harris was a better choice than Trump. Here is why:

1) Harris supported the freedom to vote act which would have been implemented to curb gerrymandering and some unsightly campaign-finance tactics that have led to the marginalization of some political groups. 2) Harris also supported LGBTQ+ protections. I'm straight, white, have a family, and I don't give a damn who you sleep with, what you do with your genitals, or how you choose to dress. And the Government needs to stay out of the personal lives of grown adults and stop legislating our existence. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are guaranteed to ALL Americans. Not just the ones in my tribe and Trump is systematically destroying the foundation of that promise by removing protections and actively hunting down those who disagree. The argument that Trans people or Gay people are corrupting the youth is absolutely ignorant. If your child is being corrupted by outside influence, that's on you for not parenting better. Parents need to take some personal responsibility for the outcomes of their offspring. 3) She is in favor of term limits for Supreme Court justices & policies that would require them to conform to ethical standards. Every political official should have a limit and be bound, on pain of death, to a code of ethics that is divorced from Religious doctrine. I and most of my youthful compatriots are thoroughly sick of 90 year olds in politics making shortsighted decisions for me and my children because it benefits their bottom line now and they won't be around to suffer the negative consequences of their bad decisions. Limits and ethical codes will ensure a more active discourse and healthy turnover in politics. 4) Her policy plans for supporting workers, unions and small businesses are generally plans I support. I do believe that nobody (even tipped workers) should be forced to make below minimum wage. I don't agree with her raising minimum wage, but ending 4-year degree requirements for some federal jobs, banning the box, investing in small business through tax breaks, and supporting the authority of labor unions are all policies I support. 5) Trump is making an authoritarian push in politics through his fringe MAGA collective (No, MAGA is not Republican and I will die on that hill - I know too many good conservative Republicans who have felt disenfranchised because of Trump's groupies). That is undeniable.

In sum: While there is MUCH about Harris-Walz policy that I would contest, anything is better than the man we have in office right now. Not a single policy he has enacted or tried to push has benefit for the people of this great nation. All he cares about is making his family richer at the expense of the United States' global reputation.

Now on to your categorization of me as a supporter of "Radical Leftists". That's such an interesting Trumpism and it fingers you right away as a Trump supporter who consumes a lot of right-wing news and emotionally-charged click bait on social media. Not a criticism, just an observation about how I've perceived you based on the use of a trigger phrase.

"Radical leftism" is not a real stance in broader American politics. Even AOC isn't as "radically left" as many right-wing talking heads claim. She's merely more left than her moderate counterparts but her policy propositions are largely in line with the wider Democratic agenda. Bernie Sanders is probably the closest thing the US has to a true "radical leftist" in the government and he's not really that "radical" he (and AOC) just support a model of social Republic similar to what they have in the Netherlands. It's not crazy or revolutionary in a wider context, it just feels that way compared to contemporary MAGA ideology. Harris does not conform to the social Republic model of our more left-leaning representatives and that's evident in her policy proposals from her 2024 run.

Sure, many people would consider me radically left because I support drug legalization for adults over the age of 21, unions, LGBTQ rights, and I think gerrymandering is a cheap trick that only bad politicians need to win. But I'm not radically left. I'm radically FOR personal liberty, people's right to hold employers, politicians, and companies accountable, and fair representation in a Representative Republic. Being radically for personal liberty and the rights of the general public doesn't make me leftist and that kind of nuance is something that Trump supporters especially (but Americans more broadly) have started to refuse to acknowledge and that is deeply dangerous.

Have you ever heard of Dietrich Bonhoeffer? He was an incredible philosopher who was hanged by Nazis for speaking out against Hitler. He developed this theory about rationality - he calls it the theory of stupidity (though it's less about being stupid and more about choosing to shut off rational processes in a chaotic environment that makes rational thought and conscientious dissent exceptionally hard, dangerous, or both) - and it reminds me of your phrase "radical leftist". That phrase and those like it coupled with rampant dissemination of misinformation serves a nefarious purpose - to redirect your thoughts patterns with emotional reactivity, halt critical examination, and make you think that complex problems have simple solutions that only one man has totally figured out. It makes you believe that there is one enemy, the "radical leftist" or the "illegal immigrant" or the "deep state", and they are preventing your happiness and prosperity. These phrases make you believe that Trump, and only Trump, can remove that entity and fix a broken system. This gives Trump license to do whatever he says is necessary without oversight or criticism from his base and its the kind of thinking that leads to mass destruction. If you can't criticize him and can't see where he is objectively bad for America, they've successfully shut off your critical thinking with emotional buzz words.

Harris over Trump because Trump and the MAGAsphere are against rationality and are actively working to suppress secular education, research, medicine, voters, and the institutions that make America great. His propaganda machine has leveraged our short attention span and the emotional reactivity encouraged by social media and it's allowed the MAGAsphere and nefarious actors to manipulate so many smart, tenacious, and resourceful people into believing that Trump some kind of political savior because he's tough and chaotic and scary. But the reality is, he isn't tough, scary, or strong, and he definitely isn't going to save us. He's just another arrogant, short-sighted 80 year old political trainwreck but worse because he doesn't understand politics. He is old, feeble, and clearly struggling with poor health. He needs to retire and be with his family in his final years and leave running the country to people who believe in discourse, ethics, and genuine governmental reform rather than those who believe thoughtlessly dismantling the government to concentrate power in the executive branch is the way to make America great.
