---------- "The Only Patriotic Choice for President The Editorial Board ⋮ ⋮ 30/09/2024 Credit...Damon Winter/The New York Times By The Editorial Board The editorial board is a group of opinion journalists whose views are informed by expertise, research, debate and certain longstandingvalues. It is separate from the newsroom. Sept. 30, 2024 It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks. Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy and his increasingly bizarre cast of associates. This unequivocal, dispiriting truth — Donald Trump is not fit to be president — should be enough for any voter who cares about the health of our country and the stability of our democracy to deny him reelection. 2/2 For this reason, regardless of any political disagreements voters might have with her, Kamala Harris is the only patriotic choice for president. Most presidential elections are, at their core, about two different visions of America that emerge from competing policies and principles. This one is about something more foundational. It is about whether we invite into the highest office in the land a man who has revealed, unmistakably, that he will degrade the values, defy the norms and dismantle the institutions that have made our country strong. As a dedicated public servant who has demonstrated care, competence and an unwavering commitment to the Constitution, Ms. Harris stands alone in this race. She may not be the perfect candidate for every voter, especially those who are frustrated and angry about our government’s failures to fix what’s broken — from our immigration system to public schools to housing costs to gun violence. Yet we urge Americans to contrast Ms. Harris’s record with her opponent’s." ------------ ------------- Fight Song Rachel Platten

------------- "O Único Escolha Patriótica para Presidente The Editorial Board ⋮ ⋮ 30/09/2024 Crédito...Damon Winter/The New York Times Por The Editorial Board O editorial board é um grupo de jornalistas de opinião cujas opiniões são informadas por expertise, pesquisa, debate e certos valores de longa data. É separado da redação. 30 de setembro de 2024 É difícil imaginar um candidato menos digno de servir como presidente dos Estados Unidos do que Donald Trump. Ele se mostrou moralmente inapto para um cargo que exige que seu ocupante coloque o bem da nação acima dos interesses pessoais. Ele se mostrou temperamentalmente inapto para um papel que requer as próprias qualidades — sabedoria, honestidade, empatia, coragem, moderação, humildade, disciplina — que ele mais carece. Essas características desqualificadoras são agravadas por tudo o mais que limita sua capacidade de cumprir os deveres de presidente: suas inúmeras acusações criminais, sua idade avançada, sua falta fundamental de interesse em políticas públicas e seu elenco cada vez mais bizarro de associados. Essa verdade inequívoca e desanimadora — Donald Trump não é apto para ser presidente — deveria ser suficiente para qualquer eleitor que se preocupa com a saúde do nosso país e a estabilidade de nossa democracia para lhe negar a reeleição. Por essa razão, independentemente de qualquer desacordo político que os eleitores possam ter com ela, Kamala Harris é a única escolha patriótica para presidente. A maioria das eleições presidenciais, em sua essência, trata de duas visões diferentes da América que emergem de políticas e princípios concorrentes. Esta trata de algo mais fundamental. Trata-se de saber se convidamos para o mais alto cargo do país um homem que revelou, de forma inconfundível, que degradará os valores, desrespeitará as normas e desmantelará as instituições que tornaram nosso país forte. Como uma servidora pública dedicada que demonstrou cuidado, competência e um compromisso inabalável com a Constituição, a Sra. Harris se destaca nesta corrida. Ela pode não ser a candidata perfeita para todos os eleitores, especialmente aqueles que estão frustrados e irritados com as falhas do nosso governo em consertar o que está quebrado — desde nosso sistema de imigração até escolas públicas, custos de moradia e violência armada. No entanto, pedimos aos americanos que contrastem o histórico da Sra. Harris com o de seu oponente." _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ------------ ------------ What`s Going On Marvin Gaye

------------ CNN instant poll: Kamala Harris ran away with it A survey of debate watchers showed a clear victor. Steven Shepard Steven Shepard 09/11/2024, 12:26am ET A majority of voters who watched Tuesday’s debate picked Kamala Harris as the winner, according to an instant CNN/SSRS survey. In the poll, 63 percent of those who watched the debate — a group that is not representative of the electorate as a whole — said Harris won. Just 37 percent said Donald Trump won the debate. Harris’ apparent victory is notable because the same group of voters went into the debate with mixed expectations. Asked before the debate whom they thought would win, 50 percent predicted Harris, and 50 percent chose Trump. The flash survey was conducted Tuesday night by text message with voters recruited ahead of time who agreed to be surveyed after the debate was over. The margin of error for the poll — which does not reflect the electorate as a whole — is plus or minus 5.3 percentage points. The results diverge sharply from the June debate between Trump and President Joe Biden. A flash poll conducted immediately following that debate showed two-in-three voters who watched it picked Trump as the winner, with just one-third calling Biden the winner.
