      Decided that abstaining and allowing Trump to be elected was somehow going to help us get more left-leaning politicians?

        I voted for Harris

        Could this be any clearer?

        I honestly don’t know anymore what to do with this blue MAGA bs. You can say that you ate Harris out while voting for her but you don’t agree with her pro genocide stance and because you said one critical word they’d still tell you that you made Trump happen somehow?

          Hello! I realized I was looking at a different comment chain, which made me think that.

          Now:

          Basically, what I think needed to happen is a) Harris wins narrowly, and b) we take the energy that people are just now starting to cultivate under Trump (i.e. as he does everything he promised to do and more, for the benefit of seemingly no one but him) and protest because Harris wasn’t good enough. Americans cannot keep living in a world where every presidential election is life and death, because that guarantees fascism. The only good thing about what’s going on right now is that leopards’ faces are being eaten.

          I did not want Harris because she wasn’t a good enough candidate. Plain as. She was the better of the two candidates we have, but that’s simply not good enough anymore. It hasn’t been for what, four of the last five election cycles? We need more than two viable candidates (end FPTP), a fragmenting of parties (suicide while FPTP is active), and/or people to wake the fuck up.

        So, nothing then, because they didn’t do that; they explicitly said, right at the start, that they voted Harris.
