  • It’s not as easy as you make it out to be.

    The Democrats have to try to achieve the impossible: trying to retain left-leaning voters while getting enough centrists/swing votes to overcome the systematic disadvantage the electoral college poses for them.

    In a de facto two party system that puts them between a rock and a hard place.

    But what does that mean for you as a (I assume) left leaning voter?

    It’s actually quite simple: vote for the least bad option.

    By not voting for Harris you may successfully show the democrats your discontent for their policies. But you pay for that by helping a possible fascist into power (remember: we already found out that not voting, helps republican candidates in most cases), who will be far worse on most policies you care about.






  • What you don’t get is:

    Given the same conditions, some people have more obstacles put in their way than others.

    Saying „I can look after myself“ from a position of privilege is easy.

    But taking care of yourself AND removing the obstacles for others so they have the same chance to succeed like you is hard.

    And yes: it can make you miserable. Especially when egoistic people keep adding those obstacles again.



  • Leftist: „I‘m miserable, because minorities are treated like shit, we still don’t have universal healthcare and we are at the brink of a fascist takeover.“

    MAGA: „I‘m miserable because queer people exist, black people exist, literally anyone that is different from me exists.“

    You (very intelligent): I can’t see any difference between you two.
