image for I’m Voting Harris Not Because She Deserves it But Because I Do

I’m voting for Kamala Harris because of what I deserve.

I deserve to be able to travel while being a lady-person without worrying that—depending on what state I’m in—maybe they’ll just let me die.

I deserve not to worry that the dumbest people we know are going to outlaw both birth control and IVF.

I deserve to not have to explain to young girls that we chose a sexual abuser to hold the highest office in the country.

I’m voting for Kamala Harris because I’m voting for me and the people I care about.

And, if I’m being perfectly honest, because it’s my best shot at never having to hear about Donald Trump again.

On top of all the other things we deserve, we deserve a break. »
