Today, The Washington Post published and article that claimed both sides were voting out of fear. I just posted this rebuttal:

"The Washington Post gets it wrong. Hannah Knowles, and Jeff Bezos in his cowardly silencing of his newspaper’s Editorial Board, our primary driver is not Fear – or at least it need not be.

"Actually, tens of millions of Americans are voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz out of Hope and Love! We have a profound love for this country, for its Constitution, for the country’s possibility and its yet-to-be-fulfilled promise.

"We have a deep Hope in the goodness of our joint humanity, in the brighter future based on the enabling of each others’ diversity and opportunities – and not some misconstrued idea that America should be a "Zero-Sum Game".

"Wise men and women have said that the 2016 Election was a "National Referendum on Decency" – and that Decency lost.

"In 2024, we are voting in a new Referendum – to restore Decency.

"For Love of country and for each other, and for Love of the beautiful principles and hopes on which this Country was founded, for ourselves and each other, for our children and grandchildren and future generations, and for all the living creatures of this Earth, we are voting for a New Way Forward."

And here is the title and intro, and a link to WaPo’s article:

. "Trump vs. Harris divides a marriage, a town and America on election eve"

"A sharply split nation is headed to the polls to elect its 47th president after an unprecedented campaign. Voters on both sides are largely motivated by fear of the other."
