What you need to keep in mind is that it’s not just voting, it’s also campaigning. If you’re a citizen who has opinions you share with your friends, that’s one thing. If you own a large online community that consistently puts out propaganda, that’s another thing. That’s campaigning. Voting for a candidate while campaigning against that same candidate is an action that confuses other people, because it’s self-defeating.
The other way happens as well. You can say you voted harris because its the lesser of 2 evils, then someone calls you genocider… 🤦♂️
Like, people forget how FPTP systems work.
I’ve been called a harris voting genocider a couple times now. I’m Australian.
Or I can say that I voted Kamala and I still hate that she supported genocide and get called a tankie.

So we’ve moved from “you have to vote for the Democrats” to “you can’t publicly criticize the Democrats”
