I was a “President” myself back in the 80’s in a microcosm of the president national situation.

I remember feeling like a real whore, I took men to bed in my redoubled efforts to save the Harvard Advocate, the boyfriend I was breaking up with told me he “would love to watch the Advicate going down under me.” I was on a mission.

once I got that idea into my head I had to run for that spot, I was galvanized. Even though I knew that it was ridiculous. I had no such talents.

Then, they couldn’t get me out and I didn’t know how to get me out.

It was a pern in the gyre for 36 years until the Lampoon was interviewed on 60 minutes in 2018 after my 5th and final (unsuccessful);suicide attempt. The Lampoon Editor talked about the war with the Crimson that Polly and I launched in the basement of the Independent after the Crimson foolishly put up a center paged Sunday editorial about the Advocate decrying me among other things when everybody was trying to keep it steady until the year was out and the situation could blow over. That is my take on it anyway. And here I am today 5 suicide attempts later still preparing to sue John’s Hopkins University Hospital psych ward who needed to know about stuff like this still pending back in 1994 when I was on board there. They took my parents’ spotty info about me and didn’t bother to check.

I used to follow presidents very sympathetically knowing what it is like to be a figurehead and the cost and the toll of being in a public situation, such as George Bush Jr. being on the spot to hold the nation together under 9-11.

but I am irked by Kamala Harris; knowing she is being manipulated to do what she is doing and that she is enjoying the attention probably against initial and interior misgivings.

I do not believe that this person has what it takes to weather 24 hours in power.

I do believe that Kamala in the White House would spell disaster for America and world wide.

At best she would be a puppet on strings and who knows who would be pulling them?

this is my perspective based on knowing myself 40 years after being the 3rd woman president of the Harvard Advocate, an undergraduate literary magazine.
