      Because in a binary decision between bad and worse, there is still a preference. And when abstaining has historically favored the worse choice, doing nothing is bad.

          No one is saying Harris is perfect. We don’t vote for perfect: we vote for better. Do you need a primer on evolution?

          This both-sides/but-her-emails[sic] nonsense only resembles the Russian bot themes accidentally, right?

            Say you need to go west. There’s two buses on offer: one goes east, and the other goes further east. Do you get on the bus that goes less east, or do you just start walking west?

        Does the democratic party hold no responsibility here in your eyes? It’s obvious democrats understand the flaws of First past the post voting, longer then ive been alive!

        So why hasn’t the states they control switched to a voting system like Ranked Choice voting where there is no spoiler effect?

        You don’t get to harp on people voting outside the two party system and then do nothing to resolve the issues you bring up.

              Guess you are one of the many people unable to understand the difference between the democratic party and a sovereign nation.

                The only reason that Israel is able to conduct this genocide is because it’s getting material and political support from the democratic party. The US has shipped billions in weapons to Israel to conduct the genocide and has repeatedly blocked resolutions at the UN aimed at ending the genocide.

                The fact that you refuse to acknowledge this basic fact shows that you’re a deeply dishonest individual whose opinions can be safely ignored. People like you are directly responsible for enabling this genocide. The blood is on your hands.

                    Whether Israel is a sovereign nation or not has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion. I’m sure that even you understand this. Perhaps address what’s being said to you instead of just regurgitating the talking point you’ve memorized.

        I have no sympathy for you or anyone that doesn’t vote Democrat in this election.

        Funny! I have no sympathy for white supremacists like you and the rest of your party.
