        I tried, all I’m getting is a vague impression that you think change isn’t possible. That the bipartisan death spiral is inevitable. And yet, you still act like people have a moral responsibility to vote for the continuance of the status quo. As if you believe both that voting can save the world and that everyone must vote for a lesser evil.

              Mask off claim when you’ve driven the conversation to a dead end, sure thing boss

              I’m “mask off” in every comment I make. Because I’m not selling, and not tricking. I’m consistent across my comment history that harris is not to be loved but we are in a rough electoral spot. Trump represents chaos and harm, and given 2 choices, I choose not-trump. I’m not so idealistic or myopic to assume I get to pick my perfect person for president of the most influential country on earth. I choose harm reduction. Edit because there are people in this country who don’t need it any harder than they already have it, and trump has made clear he’ll do just that.

              Choosing anything other than competitive not-trump in the next 10 days is academic masturbation hoping to ride a high horse. Edit further it speaks to privilege where there is an assumption that “good things” will come via chaos, and some more ideal system will arrive via teaching the dems a lesson. Oops forgot about the millions of people who will see worse outcomes along the way, and the people of Palestine will have even worse outcomes than now.

              If you’ve got a candidate that can beat trump in 10 days and is not pro netanyahu I’m all ears.
