      “Kamala decided to do a rally in Wyoming alongside Liz Cheney so I decided that I would be ok with America electing a traitorous monster for a second time” is not exactly the flex you think it is, hombre.

          There wasn’t anyone most people were ok with, but that doesn’t mean one of them wasn’t significantly more horrifying.

            Harris and Biden are fine with killing children as they scrounge for food. That’s not a ticket I’m going to cast a vote for. Sorry!

            If Harris had made an explicit statement condemning Israel’s crimes and promising to get a ceasefire, I would have held my nose and voted. She didn’t, so I didn’t.

            The anger people have for me is misplaced. You all should be outraged that the system forces people to choose between child killers and criminals for our leadership.

            Sorry I don’t want any part of that

              That the system sucks doesn’t absolve people from the choices they make when they have the opportunity. People who chose to not vote passively supported whomever won, thus Trump. Everyone who chose not to vote is culpable for the suffering the administration causes, aids or allows.

              It was a trolley problem, anyone claiming that washing their hands of the decision means they bear no responsibility for the results is deluding themselves.

              It even doesn’t makes sense if you’re a single issue voter on genocide. There are only 3 possibilities:

              1. Thryet Believe Trump would support it less, they should vote for Trump, as that would reduce it.
              2. They Believe both support it about the same, they should vote based the 2nd/3rd/etc issue, because you can’t impact you first, so you should impact something else you care about.
              3. They Believe Harris would support it less, they should vote for Harris, as that would reduce it.
