    “will vote against Harris” (read: for trump, because that is how our trash elections work) “Neither side will do the right thing on the genocide…so we will elect the one with the worst position and get a bonus of bringing about all manner of horrible outcomes here at home too!”

    Alrighty, it’s your vote. MAGA uses it to make emotionally driven decisions based on ignorance for outcomes that hurt themselves and those around them, it is fair to let these well-meaning clowns join them in that. Our very own blueMAGA. I hope you lose in a mind-shattering crushing defeat, and then Kamala proves you all wrong. I have my doubts on the last bit, but if y’all can be stupid enough to vote for trump, I can be the same to hope for unlikely change (with the benefit of not also supporting suffering here too).

    👍

      You should educate yourself by reading The Problem of Political Leadership in the Formation and Development of the Nation and the Modern State in Italy from Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks and studying trasformismo in Italian history instead of infantilizing an entire marginalized group over their justified stance against the system currently genociding their friends and family 👍 trust me, you’ll learn a lot about our current political situation.

        Yup every vote that isn’t for Kamala is less votes the other side has to get to win. All for someone that has zero chance. That is voting for trump by proxy. GJ 👍

                One of two parties will win. Every vote syphoned off of what would normally be blue votes makes that one less red vote needed to win. Functionally turning a blue vote red. That is part of why I assume this is just a maneuver by conservatives more than actual thinking liberals.

                  Harris has chosen to embrace genocide, for voters that will not vote for genocide, she is impossible to vote for. These aren’t blue votes being lost, this is the blue candidate turning red.

                  Secondly, liberals are largely loving Kamala and the genocide, it’s typically Leftists who already hate the Dems who are abandoning her entirely.

                    That’s what I said…they are now trump voters. Trump’s whole thing is the downfall of democracy and the rise of christofascisim (with bonus genocide). IE, a stupid position given declared reasoning.
