There are so many wonderful history lessons that Heather Cox Richardson offers in her blog. And she finds the best quotes.

[T]he true measure of the strength of a leader is not based on who you beat down. It’s based on who you lift up.

Kamala Harris

I love the contrasting parallelism. I did something similar four years ago. "Lock more people up/Lift more people up." They did it with two contrasts "beat/lift," "down/up." I went with only one, but with alliteration!

I think Kamala Harris has a better shot than that Dave Rogers guy did. That is, if the archaic and undemocratic relic, the Electoral College, doesn't bite us in the ass.
