Can We Vote Kamala Harris as POTUS in 2024
With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility
There is this idea that because I am a mixed African-American, I must vote for VP, now POTUS candidate Kamala Harris, who has a track record that is more against me than for me.
I have never been in trouble with the law and have not had any interactions with the courts until the last roommate I had in 2012-13 sexually assaulted me, and I testified on the trauma he had caused me.
I have never been a victim of police brutality and violence. I know to respect the badge because I am a respectable human being. Still, there are tens of thousands who can say that Kamala Harris prosecuted them to the furthest reaches of the law and was a massive part of the reason African Americans faced huge sentences for minor offenses compared to their white counterparts.
I know she was just doing her job exceptionally well, but the black lady was overreaching when it came to her fellow black men who took plea deal after plea deal, not realizing that they were jeopardizing their entire futures, but she knew that.
Like Reagan before her with his so-called war on drugs, which was actually an assault on black America, and let us not forget the supreme liar himself, Richard Nixon, whose war on poverty was also a war against blacks that would have repercussions to this very day.
Kamala Harris will take up that mantle and forget that she may be married to a white man (I don't know why many successful African Americans end up in such a romance.) She will use black votes, especially black women's votes, to ensure victory, but just like former POTUS Barack Obama, she will forget all about us and protect the LGBTQIAs and women while leaving black men to their own devices.
But what has any president ever done for Black men in America to begin with? Black men are only allotted certain number of times they can receive food stamps if they are single and childless. The welfare system is all for raging through a man's income for child support, but he hardly ever gets to see the children to begin with.
The civil rights movement turned its back on us and may be a huge source of why so many black men have been mass incarcerated, and BLACK LIVES MATTERS is canceled because all they ended up doing is stealing the donations to enjoy Caucasian luxuries. I have assimilated easily because I am not a threat to anyone, and I stay to myself as a protection so that I am not caught up in a drama that I played no part in.
Every time I believe I am about to break out of my convenient shell, I am thrust back into it because all the world around me is moving in directions that exclude me. Yes, African Americans making 100K+ a year will ensure a POTUS Harris victory, and for four years, she will assist everyone but me, and I will do what I always do: make the most of the time to raise my agenda.
My agenda is to find a politician who has something to say about me, and that would be someone like Cory Booker, but I have 4 years to advocate politically. I will do so by sending as many letters as possible to see who will be at least in the pool of candidacy in 2028 because the best thing about all of this is that there will be changes on both sides. Still, the Reds are about one thing: "America is Family First," so once a gain, a single black gay man is out and left to his own devices.
November 2024, we have the criminal and the mixed bag who has no ties to the African American community except through her womanhood. Blacks would have turned on Barack Obama had he been married to a Caucasian and not Michelle Obama, but VP Harris has two strikes against her for locking us up and being married to a Caucasian, and her record. To begin with, I want to know what she has accomplished as VP.
The Best thing about November is that it shows America has been at a race war this entire time, and the victor will change the course of American history either way.

What Happens Now?
We are now all very much aware of the Supreme Court creating articles to overturn Roe v. Wade and like Justice Roberts I believe the person who leaked this information should be held accountable, because as a government employee/official et.al you are responsible for protecting our Democracy not trying to destabilize it even if it something we need to know; in other words, you cannot play both sides of the fence.

US Senators Move to Clarify the Crypto Landscape
The U.S. cryptocurrency market has long been a frontier of innovation — and confusion. Investors, startups, and regulators alike have struggled to navigate a landscape where digital assets grow at lightning speed, yet the rules governing them remain murky. Now, a group of U.S. senators has taken a major step to address this uncertainty by introducing a bill aimed at defining clearer rules for the crypto market. A Turning Point for Crypto Regulation For years, the U.S. has lagged behind other countries in providing clear legal guidance on cryptocurrency. While some states have issued their own regulations and agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have offered guidance, the lack of a unified federal framework has created uncertainty. This uncertainty has affected everyone from small retail investors to large financial institutions, limiting adoption and innovation. The new bill, introduced by senators from both parties, represents the first comprehensive attempt in years to outline federal rules for digital assets. By clearly defining what constitutes a cryptocurrency, setting standards for trading platforms, and delineating regulatory oversight, lawmakers hope to bring stability and transparency to the market. Key Provisions of the Bill While the full text of the legislation is extensive, several provisions stand out as particularly significant: Clear Definitions: One of the major obstacles in the U.S. crypto market has been the lack of precise definitions. The bill seeks to categorize digital assets into clear categories such as “cryptocurrencies,” “stablecoins,” and “security tokens,” each with tailored regulatory frameworks. This clarity is expected to help companies understand whether they are subject to SEC rules, Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversight, or other federal regulations. Consumer Protections: With high-profile cases of crypto fraud and exchange collapses, consumer protection is a priority. The bill introduces requirements for transparency in trading platforms, clear disclosure of risks, and security standards to protect investor assets. It also provides mechanisms for recourse in cases of fraud or mismanagement. Stablecoin Oversight: Stablecoins — digital assets pegged to traditional currencies — have grown enormously, fueling concerns about systemic risk. The proposed legislation outlines regulatory guidelines to ensure that stablecoins are fully backed, audited regularly, and subject to federal oversight, reducing the potential for market disruptions. Innovation-Friendly Framework: Importantly, the bill does not aim to stifle innovation. It encourages technological development and allows startups to experiment within a defined framework. Lawmakers recognize that the U.S. risks losing its competitive edge if crypto regulation becomes too restrictive or unclear. Coordination Among Agencies: One persistent problem has been overlapping jurisdiction between federal agencies. The bill seeks to clarify which agency is responsible for different types of digital assets and activities, aiming to reduce confusion and prevent conflicting enforcement actions. Bipartisan Support Reflects Growing Recognition Interestingly, the bill enjoys support from both Democrats and Republicans, reflecting a growing recognition that cryptocurrency is not just a niche technology but a key component of the modern financial system. Lawmakers have highlighted the potential for blockchain to improve payment systems, reduce transaction costs, and enhance transparency in financial markets. The bipartisan nature of the legislation may also increase its chances of passage, though challenges remain. While regulators largely welcome clarity, some consumer advocacy groups argue that the bill does not go far enough in protecting everyday investors from risks associated with highly volatile digital assets. Industry Response The crypto industry has largely welcomed the proposed legislation, viewing it as a long-overdue step toward legitimacy. Exchanges, wallet providers, and blockchain startups have repeatedly called for clear federal guidelines, arguing that uncertainty hampers growth and scares away institutional investors. At the same time, some companies have cautioned that overly strict rules could push innovation overseas, as U.S. developers might move to countries with more flexible frameworks. Balancing innovation with investor protection remains a central challenge for lawmakers. Global Context: The U.S. and Crypto Regulation The introduction of this bill comes at a time when the U.S. faces increasing international competition in the crypto space. Countries like Switzerland, Singapore, and the United Arab Emirates have implemented comprehensive frameworks that attract crypto startups and investments. Without clear rules, the U.S. risks losing its leadership position in a market expected to be worth trillions of dollars in the coming decades. By setting federal standards, the bill could help the U.S. reassert its influence, ensuring that innovation occurs under a framework that protects consumers while fostering growth. Analysts believe that clarity in regulation will encourage major banks, investment firms, and technology companies to expand their involvement in digital assets. Next Steps and Potential Challenges The bill will now move through the Senate committee process, where lawmakers will debate its provisions and consider amendments. It faces potential hurdles, including disagreements over the scope of regulatory authority and the degree of oversight needed for innovative financial instruments. Moreover, the fast-moving nature of the crypto market presents another challenge: laws that take too long to pass risk becoming outdated as technology evolves. Advocates argue that any legislation should include mechanisms for periodic review to keep pace with innovation. Conclusion: Toward a Clearer Crypto Future For investors, innovators, and regulators, the introduction of this bill represents a significant milestone. It signals a shift toward clearer rules, stronger protections, and a more stable environment for digital assets in the United States. While challenges remain, the legislation offers hope that the long-standing uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrency regulation may finally be addressed. As Congress debates the bill, the broader market watches closely. A well-crafted framework could transform the U.S. crypto landscape, encouraging growth, innovation, and consumer confidence. Ultimately, the success of this effort may determine whether America can maintain its position as a global leader in the digital financial revolution.
