"There can be no middle ground, not in this moment." As the U.S. presidential race draws to a close, Bishop William Barber, the national co-chair of the Poor People's Campaign, founding director of the Center for Public Theology and Public Policy at Yale Divinity School and co-author of _White Poverty: How Exposing Myths About Race and Class Can Reconstruct American Democracy_, explains why he is endorsing Kamala Harris for president in his personal capacity. In contrast to Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric and policies that will benefit the rich, Barber says "we see clearly Harris trying to unify." He makes a theological argument for opposing Trump and also discusses voting rights and access in his home state of North Carolina.

I greatly appreciate Bishop William Barber eloquently drawing upon biblical scriptures to inform critical thought and decisions about the moral conduct of those running for positions of leadership in office. That said, both Harris--whom the Bishop has endorsed--and Trump share the same position on the question of the ethnic-cleansing and genocide in Palestine--not on the basis of moral principles, but on the basis of billionaire-donor interests. That is not consistent with the biblical passage he quoted. An individual doesn't have to be of any particular religious faith to know when a moral boundary has been violated. Thank you Amy Goodman & Democracy Now!

Immensely disappointed in the reverend... To endorse Harris as an alternative to Trump is valid, but to characterize her as *moral*, when she's consistently signaled ongoing support for the holocaust in Gaza, and consistently lies about details regarding October 7th, is incorrigible... Not once does he mention the "least of these" suffering by her hand in Palestine - Matthew 25:40-45

Completely agree. If you want to argue for Kamala from a strategic standpoint, fine. If you want to argue for Kamala from a moral standpoint, using your faith as the reason, I find that hypocritical. As a counter, Cornel West, an avowed Christian, has said that we need to be "morally consistent" and invariably mentions "the least of these" in his critiques of US imperialism. Truth has no allegiance to party. Again, in Dr. West's words, "The condition of truth is to allow suffering to speak." And the current administration is actively quashing it.

Not surprised at all that the gubernatorial candidate who said that his opponents “just need….” Unalived disagreed with everything the Bishop said.

The lesser of two evils doesn't work when genocide is bipartisan. Vote Green!!!!! Obviously when Dick Cheney, the man who actually stole an election, started an illegal War based on lies, the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, torture programs, the rollback of Americans civil rights and the loss of trillions of dollars of taxpayer money that could have been spent helping Americans prepare for hurricanes rather than destabilizing the entire planet. Kamala is proud of that endorsement? W.T. absolute F is going on?!?!? The system works. Let's stop supporting it, and vote green. Unfortunately, they're going to murder poor people all over the world no matter who you vote for but at least if you vote for Jill Stein, it will let them know, and the world that you don't support genocide.
