Michelle Obama says she's a 'little angry' at the hesitation to vote for Harris

Michelle Obama stood before a crowd at an event center in Kalamazoo on the first day of early voting in Michigan and confessed she was frustrated — and a “little angry” — at some of the things she’s heard about why people are holding back on support for Vice President Harris.
Speaking directly to the gender divide that polls show is a feature of this presidential campaign, Obama railed against “the lie that we do not know who Kamala is or what she stands for,” saying too many voters are shrugging off former President Donald Trump’s character and his track record on a wide range of issues.
Trump was also campaigning in Michigan this weekend, making a stop in Traverse City late Friday night, and a second in the Detroit suburbs on Saturday.
Polls show the race is extremely tight in swing states like Michigan, and Democrats — including former President Barack Obama — have been urgently working to shore up enthusiasm for Harris among Black men, young voters, and other parts of the Democratic base.
“I hope you'll forgive me if I'm a little frustrated that some of us are choosing to ignore Donald Trump's gross incompetence while asking Kamala to dazzle us at every turn,” the former first lady said in her first appearance on the campaign trail with Harris.
“I hope that you will forgive me if I'm a little angry that we are indifferent to his erratic behavior, his obvious mental decline, his history as a convicted felon, a known slum lord, a predator found liable for sexual abuse — all of this while we pick apart Kamala’s answers from interviews that he doesn't even have the courage to do, y’all,” she said.
Obama described Harris as a “grown up” with a clear set of policies...

Obama pointedly named a long list of women’s everyday reproductive health issues – cramps, nausea, hot flashes, lumps, and pap smears – and said a second Trump presidency could have a “chilling effect” on doctors being willing to specialize in women’s health care because of abortion restrictions.
She spoke specifically to men in her remarks, emphasizing that further restrictions on abortion and other aspects of women’s health care would impact them and their sons, too.
“I am asking y’all from the core of my being to take our lives seriously — please,” Obama said. “Do not put our lives in the hands of politicians — mostly men — who have no clue or do not care about what we, as women, are going through.”
her final conclusion

“She” should scold their base. That tactic seems to do wonders. More, please.

Go back to previous strategy— Call for de-funding police and encourage violence on the streets.
