“I will not be voting for Trump because he is a felon and he poorly represents my country.”
“Hi, my name is Katherine and, I’m from Oregon and I am not voting for Trump this year.
“I did vote for Trump in the 2016 election, and I can tell you that was the first election in my adult life that I really felt like I was put in a position to vote for one person because I didn’t want the other person to be in office.
“My main concern is that people get access to all of the healthcare that they need. And it seems like those are some of the first things that are going to be restricted, and that makes me very concerned.
“I personally have gone the route of permanent birth control so has my partner.
“I was lucky enough to make that decision prior to, some of those, to the Roe v Wade being overturned. And I do think that that conversation would’ve been a lot more difficult with my doctors. If I had waited until afterward, just because of the amount of doctors that left the state of Idaho and for women’s care when that was overturned.
“You know what really concerns me about that, is just the way that Trump and the really intense MAGA supporters seem to really feed off of each other. The never ending cycle of kind of his willingness to get on board with those extreme opinions for the support of the loud people.
“There’s not actually a lot of things about him, things about his character. And so it, it is, it’s very concerning and I think that’s part of what makes it so derisive is there is no room there for discourse. They just are right. He just is right. And there’s no room around that.
“It is disgusting that he can run for a second term when he’s been convicted of multiple felonies, you know, nonviolent felonies. So that’s, you know, while why he may never see a day actually in prison, but there are people that are rotting their lives away for nonviolent crimes. And that is the thing, we have gone, we have gone to war over helping other countries out of situations that we’re not that far from being in ourselves.
“If I had to have a reason where I felt really good about voting for Kamala, it would be that I would hope that the change of having a woman in office would be enough to drive the necessary change that returns us to the democracy, that I hope that she stands for, that, you know, I hope that she’s got that goal in mind with whatever else she has in store for our country. And she’s done a wonderful job of supporting our president.
“I will not be voting for Trump because he is a felon and he poorly represents my country, and I do not want a president that is so boisterously irreverent to represent the rest of the people.”
