          One day after Trump threatens to nuke Iran, people out here jump in to defend him! Good job, bro!

              So it’s my binary thinking? Not the fact that, apart from the Palestine issue, Harris was clearly the desirable candidate? But because of this one thing she’s terrible and fortunately we got Trump instead?

              Thanks for the clarification!

              In practice, trying to get people not to vote for Harris increases the chances for Trump to win my sweetheart

                So voting for a lesser evil is morally acceptable, got it, neo-liberal scum.

                Also, my vote doesn’t matter, I live in MAGAt country. So it’s casting a droplet of water in an ocean. Thanks for playing and showing your true self.

        We also didn’t really get to choose her did we. She also got cozy with republicans while taking our votes for granted didn’t she. At that point, for a lot of people, what the fuck does their vote matter? It’s the same. We’re doing genocide either way; hell we’re probably doing Iran either way.

        She could have stood up for what is right, what people wanted, and used Americas soft power to calm shit down, but she made no indication that was her intent. So for low-info voters, they just decide to sit it out, because what’s the fucking point?

        So stop with the neolib finger pointing, what are you Bill Maher? Organize and come up with solutions for now because that ship fucking sailed and literally no one cares anymore there are bigger problems now

          What, despite saying that and meaning that and that being the obvious context for her candidacy?

          No indication? Yeah that’s a lie. A weak lie at that. Given all possible benefit-of-the-doubt it’s still a gross mischaracterization.
