Divisiveness began with the Democrats

Divisiveness in our country began when the Democratic Party, with nearly total media support, began vicious and relentless attacks against Donald J. Trump and his presidency, even before his inauguration. The attacks and divisiveness continue to this day, and Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris lack the wherewithal to heal the country.

Just a few examples taken directly from the Democratic Party Platform tell us why: Biden and Harris want to 1) restore federal funding of Planned Parenthood and to repeal the Hyde Amendment, thus advocating taxpayer supported abortion and thereby alienating all who are pro-life, 2) "reverse the Trump Administration's tax cuts," thereby alienating business and individual taxpayers alike, 3) "repeal" state "right-to-work" laws, thereby alienating people who reject compulsory union dues, 4) "reinvigorate ... policing approaches ... to build partnerships with social workers ..." thereby alienating people who value policing that protects their persons and property.

These examples should be read in tandem with Ms. Harris' expressed disdain for the Knights of Columbus and Mr. Biden's and her refusal to answer whether they would stack the Supreme Court. The refusal to answer this simple question illustrates an utter fear of party extremists, contempt for constitutional tripartite government and an arrogant assumption that they have the votes to achieve platform goals. I think that election of these candidates would be detrimental for our country's future and so I disagree with your endorsement of them.
