Joe Biden is an 81 year old corporate man, most known for “deal making” in the senate, who is a “centrist” Democrat. 70 years ago he would have been considered a “moderate Republican.”
Kamala Harris is a multi racial, female, in her early 50’s, born from two immigrant parents. She has been a prosecutor for most of her legal career, going after corporate criminals, rapists, other people who exist off of the consumption of others.
Her presidency will be different.
The best way to say it is, Trump and Biden both have given Netanyahu free reign. I don’t think Kamala will. She know personally what racism and xenophobia look like and feel like having been the target of it all her life. Here’s her new (and first) campaign ad. I hope you appreciate it. She’s not running on the past, but the future.

It's a new dawn. It's a new day, it's a new life, and I'm feeling good.

I know too many Muslim people who are kind, generous, deeply, spiritual, and concerned about justice and equality for all human beings. Decision the cowardly decision by the USC administration is not just disappointing to the Muslim community, but too many of us who have always thought of USC is being a progressive and courageous institution. The stain of this coward will unfortunately mark the universities reputation for years. In the contrast to that, read what the young woman who is the valid Valedictorian of her class, whether they allow her to speak or not. 

I am honored to have been selected as USC Class of 2024 Valedictorian. Although this should have been a time of celebration for my family, friends,
