    She wasn’t “my” candidate, any more than Donald Trump was “your” candidate. I voted against Donald Trump. Folks who voted third party didn’t do that. They may not have voted for him, but they didn’t vote against him.

      If Kamala Harris wasn’t against the genocide, a vote for Kamala wasn’t a vote against Trump, or fascism, or genocide or anything else.

      Kamala wasn’t going to win while supporting the genocide. Period. It’s not a debate. Voting for her wasn’t a vote against Trump because with her holding that stance, she couldn’t beat Trump (which is objective reality:she didn’t beat Trump).

        So, instead of ‘not voting for genocide’ you voted for ‘genocide and the complete destruction of your own country, too, as well as international destabilization, giving foreign actors free reign to your country’s classified information, and removing healthcare and vaccine mandates so that millions more will suffer and die.’

        Damn, you saved the world

          You have a mental disorder. There’s no other words for it at this point.

          We’re talking about structural issues with how elections work and what it takes to win them, and you keep trying to insist its about the individual choices of individual commenters on an obscure social media platform. Its literally fucking maddening.

          But thankfully, no one is taking you or your side seriously anymore.

            No, you’re right that there are horrific issues with the way the electoral college is set up and how the voting system works. First Past the Post is a joke.

            What makes you insufferable and an obvious moron is acting like not voting or voting third party in the last election was some moral highground and made everything better when in reality: no it didn’t. There need to be sweeping changes in the electoral systems, absolutely, but not voting for Harris was just giving Hitler2 a better chance of winning and if you can’t comprehend that, you’ve damaged your brain by huffing your own farts too much

              You are literally projecting shit I’ve never said and arguing against it. You are litterally arguing against shit that has only happened in your imagination. That’s a mental disorder.

              I’m making a narrow, positivist case for what Harris needed to do to win the election. Democrats DID NOT NEED TO LOSE THE ELECTION!! That’s the entire fucking point, and that blaming voters contributed to Democratic defeat, and continues to undermine Democrats ability to win elections.

              I don’t give a FUCK that you find the fact that you are fundamentally wrong in your understanding of what elections are insufferable. If you are blaming voters, you are the fucking problem.
