New York Times columnist Bret Stephens revealed Monday his pick for president this November: Kamala Harris. Stephens, a longtime conservative writer at the Times, made the disclosure in a conversation with fellow columnist Gail Collins.
"Please don't tell me you're going to ask how I'm going to vote," begins Stephens in the conversation published in the opinion pages.
"Well, Bret, why would you imagine such a thing? Just because I keep getting stopped by people on the street, demanding to know whether you're going to support Kamala Harris. I am not making this up," Collins replied, adding, "Come on. Give us a hint."
Stephens then made the reveal:
Kicking and screaming, I'll cast my ballot for Harris.
I really would rather have just sat out Election Day. But Jan. 6 and election denialism are unforgivable. And as my friend Richard North Patterson likes to say, "Donald Trump is literally bleeping crazy." And what crazy brings in its wake is JD Vance, whom I find worse than Trump, because he's just as cynical but twice as bright. And what it also brings in its wake is Tucker Carlson and the Hitler defenders he likes to platform.
Stephens, a former Wall Street Journal editor and one-time editor in chief of the Jerusalem Post, ended the conversation by making clear he won't enjoy a Harris presidency. Stephens offered Harris some unsolicited advice for how to better beat Trump and added:
I also think she needs to avoid gimmicks, like her recently announced plan to extend economic help directly and preferentially to Black men, including fully forgivable loans. It's blatantly unconstitutional, a naked political pander and economically damaging because forgivable loans reduce incentives to work and succeed. It's also dumb politics: It alienates voters who are tired of identity politics as the dominant mode of liberal thinking and governance.
I'm really not going to like her presidency, am I?

One bothsiders vote is not a big deal of course, but it could be representative of others.
What does this mean?
One bothsiders vote
What does this mean?
For both sides you need (at least) two people-- one for each side!
You can't have "One bothsiders"-- you need two!
If you have only one ("One bothsiders") then its not really a true "Bothsiders" situation.
If indeed there is only one, then its by no means a "bothsiders" situation, but rather actually a "Onesiders" event,
(The original statement (One = Both) sounds to me like the sort of contradictery stuff that comes up when using some of the morely poorly designed AI programs).
For those who are not familiar with the meaning of "AI"-- its short for "Artificial Intelligence". A good AI program can help do some great things, but one must be aware that trying to save money by buying one of the cheaper ones is a case of "false economy"-- if you're going to buy an AI program it pays to spend a few extra bucks and buy a good one!
I believe you are overthinking this.
Correct!
Agreed. In this election it's a choice between supporting America and the constitution or kneeling to a lying adulterous moronic convicted felon and wannabe fascist dictator who has spit on our constitution and the rule of law. The vast majority of Americans will make the right choice and not vote for Trump but because of the electoral college this will be a very close race which is frankly shocking and shameful that there are still that many people who lack any integrity and clearly have no shame.
Its a shame its going to be close because, when Trump loses, there isnt a shadow of a doubt he will say it was stolen from him.
I am actually familiar with Bret Stephens-- from years ago. And he is indeed a true Conservative. So to his credit, difficult as it may be for him, he's decided to vote for Kamela Harris!
