    Disgusting fawning over someone who is in full support of genocide. Vote for her if you want, but feel uplifted? Jesus Christ

      You have to be realistic. There are two sets of policies you can vote for. You are not allowed to mix and match. You must choose one set. Just cool your ego and choose the better set. It’s that simple. You may not like all of Harris’s policies, but it would be far more foolish to abstain.

        Just because you’re uplifted by the prospect of voting for someone who will continue unconditional arms sales to a genocidal regime, that doesn’t mean everyone who voted for Harris is.

        Some of us are disgusted and resent what the Democratic Party has done here.

          Where are you getting the premise that I enthusiastically condone Harris’s stance on Israel? I was careful to not leave any reason for that misinterpretation of my reply. I think you are intentionally mischararcterizing me as a genocide supporter. I only insist that the most sensible action now is to vote for the best overall candidate even if you can’t condone this particular position of theirs.

            Because instead of even attempting to understand the person you replied to, you lectured instead. They weren’t talking about not voting for Harris. They were talking about not being happy about it.

              I’m not really interested in changing that individual’s mind. That was more for the viewers. I did not like the vibes they were spreading.

                  It looks like we’ve both blown our loads and run out of steam. I’m disengaging before this thread turns into something that will embarrass my future self.

      This guy doesn’t want you to vote.

      Having a moral position is one thing, but he is trying to shame/insult you for voting.

      Gotta wonder why.

        Probably because anyone outside of America can see how hopeless your country is with a 2 party system. Voting for the lesser of two evils is not something to be proud of, it’s still supporting something evil.

        Even if we were to agree that’s a reasonable characterization, which it’s not, your choice would be

        • a little genocide
        • worse genocide, with criminal, corrupt, democracy ending, responsible for hundreds of thousands of COViD deaths, climate destroying, racist mysogynist, hatred spewing ego-centric Putin-lover

        But I don’t see Harris holding any political office in Israel
