    Oh so you can never hold anybody to a higher standard since there’s always someone worse out there. Interesting. Must be miserable always settling in life.

      Literally no one said that. You’re saying that to try to make your point stand, which it doesn’t.

      there’s always someone worse out there

      Sure is. Now they’re in power and things really aren’t going well.

      Must be miserable always settling in life.

      It’s called being an adult. A big part of being an adult is damage control. Welcome to reality, it’s far from perfect and sometimes you have to choose the path of least destruction.

        Alright well, enjoy voting for Gavin Newsom I guess. Crazy the election is 2 years away and we are already talking about “harm reduction”. Hope the DNC paycheck is worth it.

          Gavin Newsom will support genocide and be anti-trans, each lesser evil is a slow step towards evil.

        Just like Biden, voting in Harris would have been harm reduction in the short term, and harm multiplication in the long term. She would have continued to do nothing to address the treason that Republicans committed, and she would have done nothing to mitigate the terror that the next Republican president would bring. The only way voting for conservative Democrats is harm reduction is if no Republican ever wins an election again, and Republicans are going to win some elections.

        The biggest difference if Harris had won is that Republicans would win in 2028, and they would have a competent fascist in the Oval Office. We need democrats who will fight Republicans, not just delay them.
