In the current political landscape, if you don’t vote Red or Blue you are giving your vote to whichever way your state swings.
Even if I agree both sides are shit, I don’t want to allow the narcissist, racist, xenophobic, fascist, felon, wanna be dictator to get back in power and dismantle our democracy.
I would like us to swing so far left it makes Rupert Murdochs head spin, but I’ll take the not-fascist if that’s all I can get.
So Kamala Harris is responsible for the conflict between Israel and Palestine? The one that’s been going on for thousands of years?
And let’s put this in another perspective…
Let’s say your best friend has an enemy that lives next door. You and your best friend are not just friends, but business partners.
How do you deal with a best friend and business partner that starts fighting with their neighbor when you know they have been fighting for decades, and when the neighbor kind of started the recent conflict?
Sure you can suggest they drop the fight, you can tell them what they’re doing is wrong, but are you going to start a fight with your best friend and business partner? A fight that may end up with your business falling apart? Or worse your family getting hurt?
Or do you decide to let your Racist Uncle Don take a shit on your dining room table and tell you he’ll handle it, without coming out and telling you what he’s going to do to handle it?
Every life is sacred, because we’re all the universe experiencing itself.
Should someone be punished for not touching a thing that had been working fine for 40+ years?
What is your proposed punishment? Allowing theremoveds to select the mother of their child? Allowing women to die because of pregnancy complications?
Thank you for taking the time to write that.
I generally agree the current system is broken, both sides have no interest in doing what’s best for humans.
I came here not trying to convince anyone that Harris is good, but that Trump is worse.
I read articles just yesterday about Trump talking to Netanyahu almost every day to undermine any talks that may have stopped Israel’s genocide.
Between that and the fact that Trump is spouting fascist rhetoric, in my opinion, he is worse than Harris.
Did you have a point? I understand the societal construct.
I also understand that sometimes you have to play the game long enough to understand how to dismantle it.
Not because figuring out the game is hard, but because you have to get enough people to on your side to make sure you succeed.
The message I’ve been trying to convey in all of these posts is that if Trump wins we may not get a chance to vote someone better next time.
I don’t agree with Harris’ stance on Israel, I don’t agree with lots of things going on.
I just want to have the chance to change it eventually, especially as the Boomer generation dies out from old age.
