    The person said “one of the reasons”, as in one reason out of many. Sorry to be flippant, but jeez, people really need to learn to read.

        It’s possible to be upset that you have no candidate who opposes genocide, no matter how preferable you think genocide(D) is to genocide(R).

          Absolutely it is. But if you voted for trump or didn’t vote for Kamala you helped get trump elected whether you like it or not.

          Wouldn’t it be lovely if it wasn’t a 2 party system where both parties are neoliberal corporate stooges.

          But that’s not reality and hoping for puppies and rainbows doesn’t do anything

          it’s a trolley problem. realistically, there are only two choices in the presidential election, and it’s our responsibility to vote for the one who will cause less harm. I fucking hate Kamala, but I held my nose and voted for her because trump is causing even more damage

          in an ideal world, we could have a real election and vote for an actually good candidate, but that is not the world we live in

            But all of you people who held your nose and voted for her are the reason why she felt able to run on a pro-genocide platform. If you all had more morals, the Democrats wouldn’t have felt safe running a pro-genocide candidate. (See the game can be played both ways when we decide not to blame the people who actually deserve it — those at the top).

          I guess I’ll accept some possibly reasonably sized portions may in fact just be well meaning morons. Which I don’t really like saying, like I think 99% of people are totally capable and have to be trusted with making fundamental political decisions.

          So, by that token 99% if people are push to shove responsible for the results of their actions. Not the intent

        I think people thought by voicing it to her, she wpupd change las minute then they would vote. She didnt blink, and so these voters also didnt vote for her out of spite. And these voters still get to ctey “i did not vote for Kamala” for dubious moral high grounds.
