So, Look! Kamala Harris isn’t perfect, okay? And by her age, with her experience, who is? She’s not the one we dreamed about. She’s not the second coming. She’s not the next Obama, JFK, or even one of those Roosevelt guys. She’s definitely not Abraham Lincoln. And no one is comparing her to George Washington—except maybe some fever dream Twitter account. But here’s the thing: she doesn’t have to be. She’s a flawed candidate, and really—who cares? Let’s not make perfect the enemy of “I just want to go five minutes without cringing.” For all the things she’s not, let’s talk about what she’s really, really not.
Kamala Harris is not the person who wakes up at 2 a.m., jumps on social media, and declares war on Taylor Swift. No midnight “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” tweets. If there’s one thing she’s not here for, it’s putting the nation on alert over pop star fan wars. And while we’re at it, she’s also not the type who’ll buddy up with any world leader wearing dictator chic—no “I heart authoritarian Vladimir Putin” pins in her collection. No odes to the “late, great Hannibal Lecter.”
She’s also not going to throw our economy into a spiral to appease the bigots who still can’t get over that people with accents are, you know, contributing to the whole “keeping this country afloat” thing. Kamala Harris understands that immigrants make us stronger. So, no, she’s not going to waste trillions pretending that diversity is a problem just because some people don’t like their neighbor’s “weird spices.”
And here’s a big one: she’s not rolling back the rights of women. She’s not turning healthcare into a Hunger Games free-for-all, and she won’t spend her days brainstorming how to make it harder for women to decide what to do with their own bodies. Kamala Harris isn’t here to set us back 50 years just so she can high-five herself.
Tax breaks for the Uber-wealthy? Not on her watch. She’s not going to serve up economic instability on a silver platter So that billionaires to carve up our financial futures like Thanksgiving dinner while everyone else fights over the last crumbs of stuffing. She knows we’ve been through enough of that.
And let’s talk about loyalty oaths and personal grudges. Harris isn’t going to throw a tantrum when someone doesn’t “kiss the ring.” No loyalty pledges, no banning anyone from her birthday party. She’s not interested in being the leader of a weird cult of personality where everyone’s required to act like she invented oxygen. Public office to her isn’t a reality show; it’s a job.
And please, don’t expect any late-night “breaking news” conspiracy rants from Kamala. She’s not here to create chaos, invent enemies, or launch the nation into a full-blown culture war because she’s bored. She’s not going to use her office to protect her from criminal indictments already filed against her. She’s not here for her ego. She’s here to actually do the job. What a concept, right?
Kamala Harris isn’t perfect, but she is steady, sensible, and—let’s face it—she’s not going to make us lose sleep wondering if she’s about to do something bizarre on the world stage. She’s a grown-up. In a time when we’re all exhausted, having a president who can bring maturity, focus, and maybe even a little dignity is a breath of fresh air. So, she’s flawed, sure. But a little sanity? That’s something we can all get behind. One more thing she’s not: She’s not going to win unless everyone still on the fence about her gets over it and votes for her.
We’re not telling you who to vote for. We’re just giving you some facts: This race is razor thin and the fact is that Hillary Clinton lost the presidency in 2016 by 85,000 votes! That’s how we got into this mess in the first place. Then, Donald lost Georgia (and thereby the presidency) by 11,779 votes. And this time it’s expected to be even closer. No matter who you are voting for, go do it. Your vote could literally make the difference!
