Republicans didn’t abolish roe. The scotus did. Maybe if democrats got their shit together they wouldn’t of lost not one but three scotus seats due to their own incompetence.
RBG didn’t retire soon enough to give Obama the pick.
Obama didn’t fight hard enough for his right to pick a successor to Scalia.
Then they lost 2016 to trump because they ran an absolutely detestable candidate and ratfucked the primary so trump got to pick three justices - one to replace RBG (Amy coney barret) and one to replace Scalia (Neil gorsuch) and then kavanaugh to replace Kennedy who retired under trump.
When republicans go low, democrats go cry in a corner and throw up their hands and say there’s nothing they can do, they tried nothing and they’re all out of ideas.
Voting for democrats is delusional, not harm reduction. But whatever makes you feel better. Laughable that you somehow assume the democrats wouldn’t allow Israel to genocide the West Bank too. Both parties support the genocide wholeheartedly.
Again, not wrong about the criticism of the Democrats, just what harm reduction is. Putting incompetent, weak-willed centrists in power over literal fascists is practically the definition of harm reduction. Again, that's doesn't mean I think Democrats are good. Amputation is better than dying of gangrene, but that doesn't mean I think having your arm cut off is good.
(Also, yeah, Democrats wouldn't let Israel annex the West Bank. That's why Israeli politicians didn't start talking openly about full annexation until Trump won. Democrats did allow illegal settlements to slowly take portions of the West Bank with little pushback, and that's fucking despicable, but again, full annexation vs. illegal settlements is a perfect example of harm reduction.)
The weak democrats that are going to roll over and hand the fascists power? Those democrats?
No. Im good with my vote, sorry it’s so offensive to liberal sensibilities.
Again, I don't find your vote offensive. My original comment in this thread was making fun of the guy who was offended by your vote. All I said is that I think voting for Harris was an act of harm reduction, but I understood why so many people couldn't vote for a candidate who was supporting a genocide. Then, I explained what harm reduction was. Twice. Now, seriously, go slap that English teacher.
