Parents asked Robert Hubbell why their son or daughter should vote for Biden, notwithstanding his ongoing support for Israel? Robert prepared a list which has been edited to fit in this free teleprompter app.
“Your son should lobby Joe Biden to change policy, protest the administration’s policy, and organize resistance to that policy all he wants. But threatening to withhold his vote is wrong and self-destructive. It will encourage others to abandon Biden by giving legitimacy to the idea that there is an equivalency between Biden’s support for Israel and the multitude of deprivations and injuries Trump will inflict on hundreds of millions of Americans during a second Trump term.”
Trump’s deportation threat
“Trump doesn’t seem to care that it violates the Constitution. The threat is classic Trump: vindictive, nonsensical, disproportionate, and based on the assumption that deportation is the answer to America’s problems. Protest is an essential element of American freedom and is not itself against the law. (Some protesters have been charged with crimes.)
One would think it goes without saying that U.S. citizens cannot be deported for it. Although some of those protesting the war in Gaza and American support for it are international students, no evidence indicates that most or even a large minority of those protesting on campuses are non-U.S. citizens. (Foreign nationals can lose their student visa if they are suspended from school for any reason, political or otherwise.) In short, Trump is proposing a heavy-handed plan that wouldn’t solve the problem.” – The Atlantic
Repealing the Affordable Care Act
Trump is zeroing in on one familiar campaign promise: He wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act. In the months since Trump first reignited calls to “terminate” the ACA, he has repeated his public attacks at least seven times. Once again, we are facing a grave threat to American health care and to millions of families’ financial security. – MSNBC
Donald Trump, Abortion Foe, Eyes ‘Punishment’ for Women, Then Recants
“Trump said that women who seek abortions should be subject to “some form of punishment” if the procedure is banned in the United States… “You go back to a position like they had where they would perhaps go to illegal places,” Mr. Trump said, after initially deflecting questions. “But you have to ban it… There has to be some form of punishment.” – NY Times
Dictator on Day one
“Trump has been telling us exactly what he will do if he’s reelected and tonight he said he will be a dictator on Day 1…Americans should believe him. Trump’s plans for a second term have relied in part on work being done through a coalition of right-wing groups called Project 2025, The Post and others have reported.” – Washington Post
