Are you better off today than you were four years ago?

The answer is a resounding yes.

Four years ago:

√ In the midst of a pandemic former President Donald Trump consistently lied about the threat, even though he knew how dangerous it was. He pushed conspiracy theories, ignored public health experts, and claimed no responsibility for the federal response. Schools and businesses were closed. The economy had fallen apart. And more than 450,000 Americans died in the final year of his presidency because he was worried about his “numbers.”

√ Women had reproductive freedom. The generation who has already raised their families had the choice to make the agonizing personal decision to terminate a pregnancy. For our daughters and granddaughters, this health care is now being determined by politicians.

√ We didn’t know he called veterans suckers and losers, added $7.8 trillion to the national debt, would steal classified documents, and ultimately be the first convicted felon to run for the presidency.

Are you better off today? You’d better believe it. And if you care about tomorrow, Vice President Kamala Harris is the only choice for president of the United States.
