“My name is David, I’m a former Trump voter, and this year, 2024, I will be voting for Kamala Harris. I will not be voting for Trump.

“As a Republican, this is the first time, I think in Republican history, that a convicted felon is running our party, right? A convicted felon. A man who’s been indicted in a court, right? A man who’s been judged as a thief and a con artist amongst his business peers, right? A man who puts his own interest in front of other people, right? An egomaniac, a narcissist, thin skinned. These are the qualities, because he sits on top of the Republican hill, these are now the qualities of the Republican party.

“Now, if he’s the standard bearer, Republican Party is thin skinned, right? The Republican party focuses on petty attacks, and race, and silly memes, right? And retribution against political opponents, violence, right? Under JD Vance, he sits on top of the hill. So that means the Republican Party with JD Vance sits on extremism, right? Sits on exclusion, right? ‘I don’t want these women to vote. They have cats and they don’t have kids. We only trust women that are barefoot and pregnant and married, right?’ This is because they are the standard bearers. They are supposed to offer the moral clarity of the party. So now this is what the party stands for.

“All of the other stuff that you think the party stands for, they no longer stand for. That’s the old Republican party, right? That was Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush Jr. you’re talking about? Fiscal conservatism? No, that doesn’t exist. Equality? No, that doesn’t exist. The rule of law? No, that doesn’t exist.

“Well, somethings exists. Behind the curtain is Trump and only Trump. That’s what exists in the Republican world. There’s nothing behind the curtain, but Trump: convicted felon, Machiavellian character. And on the other, hand you’ve got Vance: another Machiavellian opportunist character. Actually, no character because he doesn’t stand on anything. So, he really has no character… his character is tied into how much power he can get.

“So, this is our choice, right? They are upset and they are in shambles because they had a built-in win with Biden, right? It was all but done, and as fate would have it, Madam Vice President is there now. She’s running a campaign that’s successful… momentum, money, poise, and they are on the decline. And we as Republicans, we have to make a choice. What are we going to do? Are we going to help democracy? Are we going to help the rule of law and push him out so we can get a better party?”
