This fight, this awesome responsibility — this time it’s personal …
“Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes.”
Kamala Harris DNC speech

[...]
In many ways, Donald Trump is an unserious man.
But the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious.
Consider not only the chaos and calamity when he was in office, but also the gravity of what has happened since he lost the last election.
Donald Trump tried to throw away your votes.
When he failed, he sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol, where they assaulted law enforcement officers.
When politicians in his own party begged him to call off the mob and send help, he did the opposite. He fanned the flames.
And now, for an entirely different set of crimes, he was found guilty of fraud by a jury of everyday Americans. And separately, found liable for committing sexual abuse.
And consider what he intends to do if we give him power again.
Consider his explicit intent to set free the violent extremists who assaulted those law enforcement officers at the Capitol.
His explicit intent to jail journalists. Political opponents. Anyone he sees as the enemy.
His explicit intent to deploy our active-duty military against our own citizens.
Consider the power he will have — especially after the United States Supreme Court just ruled he would be immune from criminal prosecution.
Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails. How he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States. Not to improve your life. Not to strengthen our national security.
But to serve the only client he has ever had: Himself.
And we know what a second Trump term would look like. It’s all laid out in “Project 2025.” Written by his closest advisors. And its sum total is to pull, our country back into the past.
But America, we are not going back.
We are not going back to when Donald Trump tried to cut Social Security and Medicare. We are not going back to when he tried to get rid of the Affordable Care Act.
When insurance companies could deny people with pre-existing conditions.
We are not going to let him eliminate the Department of Education that funds our public schools. We are not going to let him end programs like Head Start that provide preschool and child care.
America, we are not going back. We are charting. A. New. Way. Forward.
Forward — to a future with a strong and growing middle class.
Because we know a strong middle class has always been critical to America’s success. And building that middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency.
This is personal for me.

Being an American comes with an awesome responsibility, as well as the greatest privilege — to fight for what’s right, and to Vote.
[...]
America, let us show each other — and the world — who we are. And what we stand for. Freedom. Opportunity. Compassion. Dignity. Fairness. And endless possibilities.
We are the heirs to the greatest democracy in the history of the world. And on behalf of our children and grandchildren, and all those who sacrificed so dearly for our freedom and liberty, we must be worthy of this moment. It is now our turn to do what generations before us have done. Guided by optimism and faith, to fight for this country we love.
To fight for the ideals we cherish.
And to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth. The privilege and pride of being an American.
So, let’s get out there and let’s fight for it.
Let’s get out there and let’s vote for it.
And together, let us write the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told.
Thank you. God bless you. May God bless the United States of America.

Wow. The was one helluva case made For the People, by the Prosecutor, against the convicted Felon — who must never be entrusted with presidential powers, ever again.
And the American voters must render their verdict, to make it so.
So much is on the Ballot this time around. Just ask the young people, fighting for their futures.
