Why Never Trumpers Must Endorse Harris

Rick Wilson: “Just saying you won’t vote for Trump and that you’ll write in a third-party candidate or someone not on the ballot is morally and politically insufficient. It is not a sign of courage to merely reject Trump. It is not a sign of strength to say he’s unqualified to be president and then refuse to endorse Harris. (Some of you will vote for Harris in secret; this is fine for rank-and-file folks but not for you.)”

“The test here is only passed with a ringing, public endorsement of Kamala Harris. Nothing else suffices.”

“I failed this test in 2016. I worked for and voted for Evan McMullin as a write-in in Florida. It made exactly zero difference. My vote wouldn’t have put Hillary Clinton over the top, but it could have at scale and in an election decided by the narrowest of margins.”

“Voting for Harris is not a declaration you’re a raving progressive now, ready to seize the means of production and usher in the vanguard of the proletariat. It doesn’t mean you’ve adopted every policy and premise of the Democratic Party.”

“It means you give a damn about your country. Unlike Trumpism, this decision doesn’t demand uniformity and obedience.”
