The top ten reasons not to vote for Donald Trump.

https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2024-10-20/election-donald-trump-kamala-harris

The only challenge here was limiting myself to 10 arguments against Donald Trump (and one good reason to vote for Kamala Harris). So, drum roll, working toward No. 1:

10: As president, he violated his oath to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.”

Ask Mike Pence, who forfeited his place as Trump’s ticket mate to Ohio Sen. JD Vance because Pence wouldn’t violate the Constitution; Vance would. Even after leaving office, Trump called for terminating parts of it so he could regain power. No one should think he’d keep the oath if given a second chance, especially when the Supreme Court that he packed has ruled that presidents are virtually immune from prosecution.

No, I don't believe in a literal Antichrist, but if there was ever someone who fit the description of the mythical one, it's Trump. He embodies every aspect of human sin and evil. For his entire life he has committed the seven deadly sins - pride, anger, gluttony, sloth, lust, envy and greed - flagrantly, defiantly and unapologetically. He's all the badness humanity is capable of stuffed into a bulging, lumpy orange sausage skin. And he holds up a mirror to our society so some people can see themselves in it - and tragically, they like what they see. What does that make them, I wonder?
