In other words, people voting for 3rd party or Trump over this issue are morons

incorrect you're missing context of reliably blue states. I most certainly dont need to vote for democrats and can essentially do what I want w/ respect to the presidential ticket.

All the nonsense from the liberal idiots in the democratic party miss this critical contextual bit of information. I happily vote 3rd party whenever there is one that aligns more closely with my goals. its just rare one does; because it simply doesn't matter in my state for the outcome.

My ballot typically goes:

  • 3rd party for pres
  • dem/independents for most local positions

all this blue no matter who are just brain dead lunacy by the party is essentially: The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final and most essential command.

Hopefully some day we'll be able to have reasonable conversations about the toxicity of the democratic party but we just are not there yet and unfortunately the Ukrainians and Palestinians are paying the price in blood and harris doesnt have the backbone to challenge her corporate owners. Biden lost my support when he broke the train union strike. I believe he and harris would have broken the port workers strike as well if it wasn't a month before the election.

things that prevent me from voting for harris:

  • wont enforce the leahy laws with israel. israel absolutely does have a right to defend itself, it doesn't have a right to be supported by the US tax payers. if the MIC wants money there is a far more moral war going on we can increase support for. (HUGE red flag)
  • wont commit to keeping Ms khan. (HUGE red flag)
  • i don't trust her w/ respect to union support. I believe she'll break unions just like biden did. which is why he lost my support.
  • her continuous attempts to gaslight the american people over biden's mental decline makes her untrustworthy as an individual.

until then I'll continue advocating for and campaigning for election reform and primarying useless democrats. She could probably swing my vote if she commits to khan and never breaking a strike as those are important to the health of our country and economy but at this point its clear she wont shift.

I'm glad you took one sentence out of context to tell me why youre not a moron. Good for you.. the context of your article is a swing state. While your ticket may not matter, in your opinion, telling this to other people is in direct support for facism. Gtfo

Edit: oh and i missed that its a 2 day account only commenting on this shit. Say hello to Russia for me and welcome to my block list
