also, i unliked your post. sorry, that was snotty.

i am not blind to the genocide. it is happening, and it is historic levels of evil that will taint US history forever. it will not change with a republican in power. we'd have the same genocide but with a side of "trans people are sex criminals" or whatever they choose.

it kills me, but like—Trump, then?

i have voted third party more than i'd care to admit, but in this cycle a third party vote amount to half a Trump vote. i agree with your criticisms, but it's so obvious to me that a Harris administration is better than a Trump administration.

agreed! the shit part is that election season is not when we can impose our demands. in election season the gun is already at our temples. we have to be motivated without a deadline.

look, i have nothing personally to win here. what i see is a choice between a dangerous candidate and an obviously lousy one. there are no other realistic options. i choose lousy. i do not support her unconditionally, but the lesser evil is clear. again—the game sucks, but it's the only one in town.

or course, yeah. how does that inform your voting choice, though? pragmatically.

that's not how it works, though. we get the choices we get. if you want to modify those choices, that happens outside of election season. all i want is for normal liberal-ish government to win, because the alternative is terrifying.

i think i know where you're coming from, but i'm not sure. who is your preferred candidate for the US to not devolve?

i don't wan't to be a prick, but what are you accomplishing here? the game sucks, but we have to play it because it's the only one in town.
