Same side of the same coin? That is...not the expression.
I'm pretty sure Trump could actually nuke Iran and you'd still be on here talking about how Harris would've been bad...exactly how I was saying in my first response.
There's a time to vote for an alternative in the US system. That time is during the primary. If you actually gave a shit you'd be advocating for ranked choice, a change to the funding system of elections, or both. But nope, you're just another one of Trump's useful idiots.
Yes, because evil is still evil. What in the living fuck do you not understand supporting Harris was still supporting Israel as well. Jesus fucking christ you people tire the fuck out of me with your inane vote blue no matter who lesser of two evils bullshit. As long as you continue to play with their games they'll continue to never improve. So you can continue and hope for harm reduction or not vote, campaign for those you would like to actually see and refuse to vote for those you don't like at all. Because right now, Newsom is looking like the Democrat's candidate of choice and he's goddamn awful of a politician and person.
Look man, the American electorate did what you wanted and didn't vote for Harris. Things looking better? Things improving?
Voted for Harris, regret the vote now because I argue with insincere, blame mongers like you. And believe it or not, there's improvement in areas of voting with the younger MAGA becoming disillusioned and realizing they were wrong, swapping to Democrats who are seeing a rise of non-conservative candidates running for various offices.
How long would it be before another Republican became president because of Democrat ineptitude anyway if things continued on this trajectory? We're driving off a cliff, the Dems are just not accelerating while the GQP are. In the end, we're still getting closer to that cliff!
Yep, you got me, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool "blue no matter who" blame monger 👍. Not just a guy who can obviously see that the American electorate had a simple choice at general election time and chose...poorly.
I'll once again state the obvious: shit is NOT better than it was before the American electorate "taught" the Democrats a "lesson" by not voting for Harris.
But hey, at least we have folks like you who look on the bright side. Even if the Democratic establishment is still completely the same, and largely "learned" the "lesson" that Harris was "too woke" and "cared too much about pronouns", the Republicans are even more nakedly authoritarian because that resulted in electoral success for the mad king, we're "all gas, no brakes" going over the cliff, and we've taken several large steps toward accelerating the worst of the climate crisis.
That's not to mention the building full of schoolchildren, the people ICE disappears and kills, etc. etc. forever.
You're exhausting to go back and forth with, and there's no value in these exchanges. So enjoy your optimism and I won't be typing any further responses. Keep advocating for third parties that'll never mathematically work in the system we have. I'm sure you'll continue to enjoy electoral success! 🫡
