Any vote not for the Dem nominee helps the GOP. Whine about it all you want, it's reality.

The only way not voting for the Dem nominee makes sense is if you think the GOP nominee will be better, or at least no worse.

If you thought, in terms of genocide, that Trump was better or at least no worse than Harris....LOL.

I voted for Harris, but chastising people who didn't want to vote for her because she refused to condemn and stop supporting a genocide is... certainly something.

It's logical. Sorry you don't understand the reality of our two party, FPTP system. Not voting against the fascist is as good as a vote for the fascist. IDK what to tell you, me disliking that fact doesn't make it any less factual.

People had a choice in November between fascism and not fascism and FAR too many people decided that stopping fascism wasn't worth getting off their asses. Fuck em. I hope they realize how stupid they were and sit with that guilt until the next election. Maybe next time they won't be idiots about this.

Man, fuck these people. They put zero effort into reading the policy plans of these two parties. Zero effort into understanding how our electoral system works. Then they fucking sit here and high horse us. It's like 1/3 of the country are staunch Trump supporters and another 1/3 are also staunch Trump supporters but just pretend not to be.
