American gen Z voters share how they feel about Kamala Harrisās presidential bid, why they like or dislike her as a candidate and whether they think she could beat Donald Trump, as the vice-presidentĀ races towards winning the Democratic nominationĀ for Novemberās election.
āI think sheās just what we needā
āI think [Kamala Harris] is the only one that makes sense. She will get the votes Biden couldnāt. She could get the Black, Asian, Latino, womenās, LGBTQ+ and youth votes. She stands more for progress and equality than an old white dude and if she wins it will be historic. The Democrats need a bold move and I think sheās just what we need.
āI hope theĀ DemocratsĀ realize what an opportunity this is for them.āĀ Will, 22,Ā construction worker from Portland, Oregon

Thatās funny, I see it the exact other way around. Since the Supreme Court declared monetary contributions are essentially a form of speech, campaign donations have been protected by the first amendment. This is difficult to overturn, since itās a SC ruling based in the constitution itself. Any law trying to say otherwise could be declared unconstitutional and completely struck down by this even more extreme court.
Main workaround I see is mandating more thorough transparency to at least be able to track it all. Thereās probably other strategies too though.
A federal holiday just takes a bill through congress. Wonāt be an easy one, would be filibustered for sure. But possible.
