I argued with several folks on this point during the 2024 election, and I'm still a little sore about it. Looking back, I appreciate the insights shared by others as they helped me understand how the DNC is part of the problem.
I still disagree with sitting out the election or voting for Stein. I would much rather have Kamala in the oval office and see regular protests over support for genocide. We won't know the full extent of the damage caused by Trump for many years to come, but it's extensive.
I believe the Overton window has shifted further right under Trump than it would have under Kamala. One could argue that electing Trump speeds up an inevitable demise and possibly reduces overall harm. I'm not convinced of this however.
