First, I hope you can realize that framing this as not understanding how voting works or that there are no perfect choices is shit the left hears *all the time*, and it comes off as condescending. It communicates that you don't see us as adults with legitimately held positions worth taking seriously

you know. actually, i didn't see it that way, so you're right about the framing and my rhetoric. that's bad. fair enough, but if it's hackneyed to the point of offense, it's also probably true a lot of people believe it, which is why it might be repeated a lot, but that doesn't excuse my.

Second: do I think that Harris should propose a more humane policy regarding a far-right apartheid state, a policy that's both broadly popular with the base and critical to shore up support in critical swing states like Michigan? Yeah. I do. It's both morally correct and tactically important
