Like many Americans, we were immensely delighted and newly encouraged to share the fundamental joy and enthusiasm evident in the Philadelphia event where Vice-President (and November Presidential nominee) Kamala Harris, introduced Minnesota’s affable Governor, Tim Walz, as her choice for Vice-President, if elected next November.
We found ourselves transfixed by the dynamic extent of joyous excitement, notably, by the profuse expression of newly resurrected hope, generated in the audience of no less than, as reported, 14,000 exuberant attendees at the official event..The extent of the virtual transmogrification of enlightened hope from the formerly extant, MAGA-created atmosphere of despair and retribution was inarguably evident and singularly welcome; a phenomenon that inarguably overrides all other pragmatic considerations of political doctrine and platform.
Kamala Harris ‘s enthusiasm and masterful presentation of future success in her presentation of Tim Walz, (farmer, military reservist, teacher, football coach, Congressman, and Governor) as a relatable person and “man of the people,” was reinforced by Walz’s passionate remarks and positive appearance, as well as his life record. His presentation, consistent with his personal history made evident his universal acceptability by all categories of American voters. The Democratic Party evinced a quality of needed and overdue exuberance, rarely demonstrated in the past.
Walz’s moderate-progressive) record speaks of his compassionate-liberal agenda, including fair pay, paid sick and maternity leave, universal health programs, free meals for indigent schoolchildren, the restoration of women’s personal right of determination as to their own body, (stating that “others should mind their own damn business”). regulations ensuring. clean air, food and medicine, sensible gun control, anti-censorship, small business assistance, public and military service. Plain speaker, farmer, teacher, high school football coach, hunter (but advocate for gun regulation), army reservist (25 years), neighbor, congressman, and governor, his major appeal does not find its source so much in his political policy as in his referable humanity as a fellow American citizen,
By contrast, Trump seems to be well along on his steadily turret-syndromic-style of downward journey to complete mental deterioration, stridently emitting threats of retribution and revenge, His unsurprising vice-Presidential pick would require reams of journalistic paper to adequately describe his fun-house mirror distortion of reality and warped sense of rectitude. Darkness, revenge, “cat-ladies” and general misogyny, authoritarianism, and arrogant pig-headedness seem to qualify as his thumbnail sketch.
This November, the American voter has the discreet choice of an optimistic and enlightened future in the style of the traditional continuance of its valued and singular traditional democracy versus an atavistic, Dark-Ages crypt of ignorance, bigotry, and retributive inquisition. The sane choice is evident and irrefutable. We are confident that the voting public will choose the “Kamala Walz” to the” Trump-Vance Dance Macabre.”*
[N.B. In our view, it might have been appropriate for the Kamala team to publically recognize the past record of excellent service and patriotic sacrifice of President Joseph Biden].
