Can actively condemning political violence while campaigning influence your perspective on a politician's character?
@9R388JV 2yrs2Y
Yes, but character becomes a determinant only when two candidates are comparable in terms of capability.
Looks like Harris is just trying to score political points instead of genuinely addressing the divisions in our country.
@VoterIDBillyProgressive2yrs2Y
Kamala Harris hitting the campaign trail, especially with such a strong message of unity and condemnation of political violence, really underscores the urgent need for cooler heads and inclusive politics in these tumultuous times.
Given the circumstances, it's paramount we focus on protecting free speech and political discourse rather than capitalizing on events to push partisan agendas.
