Explain in 10 words or less why Harris is the best candidate.

There are only two rules for this thread:

Rule No. 1: You are not allowed to talk about any other democratic candidate in this thread.

Rule No. 2: Make your case why THIS candidate should win the primary. In 10 words or less.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided

She also can be a charismatic, dynamic speaker, but that seems to come and go. She didn't have so much of that at the last debate. I guess that's good or I would have had to work harder to keep it within ten words.

Instead of 10 words, I'll give ten reasons.

1. Not a 70+yo white man.
2. A smart, thinking moderate.
3. Able to achieve consensus and build coalitions.
4. Provides coherent answers to tough problems.
5. As a black woman, can truly appreciate what it is to face racism and missonogy, and will work to fix that.
6. Won't bankrupt the government with pie-in-the-sky giveaways.
7. Will work to raise wages and promote pay equality without declaring war on capitalism.
8. Won't start macho, dick-waving wars and will work to end the ones we are in.
9. Believes in science, facts, and truth. Will re-engage the USA to work with the world to halt climate change, clean up pollution, promote green energy, and save our planet for today and the future.
10. Will form an administration NOT filled with industry lobbyists, wackos, and grifters.

How's that?
