20. indigo wrote: Right on! Of course being a Canadian I can not vote but I am a Harris and it would be wonderful to see one in your White House! :)) Fingers crossed, candles lit..
21. chelydra wrote: Well, gosh, if YOU were the Harris on the ballot, you'd have my vote in New York Minute! But alas you're not running, so I must settle fot Jill Stein, a Jewish Woman whose commitment to stopping genocide and ecocide would go beyond words...
22. chelydra wrote: ...if only she were allowed into the debates and onto all the ballots, if only the Dems' dirty tricks and "lawfare' were less effective...
23. chelydra wrote: The other Harris has announced repeatedly that she is firmly committed to both genocide and ecocide... endless weapons for whatever vile purposes their recipients have in mind, and unlimited fossil fuels, fracking etc.
24. chelydra wrote: And if that sounds exaggerated or made-up, it's not. Her choice of words is slightly more tasteful, but her commitments are overt and explicit and unwavering.
25. chelydra wrote: Her biggest Republican allies are none other than Dick Cheney and his daughter Liz, and no Republican has been against democracy and honesty and human rights more consistently and effectively than Papa Cheney.
26. chelydra wrote: So far as I know Liz and Dick agree on everything. Other-Harris says she doesn't agree with them on everything, but so far as I know she's okay with most of it, and might do likewise in foreign policy, domestic surveillance etc.
27. chelydra wrote: There was more, but I accidentally erased it. Just as well... Anyway, Lady Harris of Canada (you surely deserve a grand title), thanks for joining in, and thanks too for keeping this site afloat almost single-handedly during our quiet spells.
