The Only Patriotic Choice for President
The New York Times ^ | Sept. 30, 2024 | The Editorial Board

Posted on 10/26/2024 9:17:33 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

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 re-election.

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...

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength. Marxism is patriotism.

A NYT anti endorsement is as good as it gets. This will convince many voters that they have made the right decision.

I think it also suggests this time they won’t bother with the cheat, since it would be even more obvious than it was with Joe.

Emphasis on Harris’s character and service because they can’t talk about her accomplishments or her policy positions. Basically, hold your nose and vote for her because Trump is worse. Good luck with that.

These nyt articles are just getting tedious at this point. I appreciate people posting stuff on FR but I’m just gonna say these articles are starting to be meanness liberal streaking at this point and every article is the same level of detached echo chamber stupid as the previous one

...the stability of our democracy... The Democrat's political power and control mechanisms are unstable and in danger.

Didn’t the NYT basically worship Stalin when he was committing mass murder on a vast scale (including genocide-by-starvation in Ukraine) in the 1920s & 30s? Such fine judges of character they are ... !

I can’t believe these people dare bring up Trump’s age after insisting for YEARS that Biden was the picture of health.

Only President Trump would make a random visit to a Cuban restaurant
in Las Vegas and there would be a cutout with him in a sombrero 🤣

For a Saturday chuckle.
