They didn't hand shit.
Nobody should have voted FOR Harris.
Everyone should have voted AGAINST Trump.
It's childish to even have this discussion.
If the dems had literally run Mitt Romney I would have voted for him gladly.
Becauae, unlike you, I don't want MORE genocide, and Trump is nothing if not openly pro-genocide.
They did tho. Trump is one of, if not the least popular president we've ever had. Are you telling me that the Democrat's really tried their best, and couldn't find anyone that was more likeable than him?
I did vote against Trump, but I also voted against Harris. I did that because, unlike you, I didn't want genocide or fascism.
No, you did not. You engaged in a purely performative action with no statistical chance of a positive outcome against fascism or genocide, so that you could brag about your moral purity while offering up the rest of us to fascists, including your SO, apparently, to feed your ego.
You can lie to others and you can lie to yourself but, the math doesn't lie. FPTP system with established parties (one of them openly fascist, that already attempted a coup) meant that there were, mathematically, two options (not a false dichotomy but a real one): voting for a candidate with a statistical chance of winning against the fascists, or letting fascists win. You chose the latter and, if we survive this, that's something that you'll have to come to terms with and take responsibility for.
The math also doesn't lie about 3rd parties: If we had all voted for Harris (and that's a big if), the Dems still wouldn't have won. The math also doesn't lie about the Dems: They ran two terrible campaigns, that even Democratic voters stayed home on, rather than support. A bunch of people who voted for Biden ended up voting for Trump in this election. That's on the Dem leadership.
I completely own up to my vote, and it's consequences. I wish the Dems would do the same.
