Harm reduction works and as much as I abhor the Israeli genocide of Palestinians the people who stayed home because Kamala wouldn't acknowledge genocide are still complicit in Trump's reelection.
I'm judging the people who stayed home, too; just not as harshly. There were at least two candidates on the ballot who had the correct position on Gaza, so those voters don't have an excuse.
Voting for a candidate that won't clear 5% is just as bad if not worse than skipping out on the election. That protest vote was summarily ignored before it was even cast and won't effect any level of change. Anybody who decided Kamala's refusal was worse than Trump's everything has fallen victim to the same right-wing disinformation that MAGAts have been slurping up harder than an altar boy at a Catholic Church for a decade.
I'm still going to do the right thing, even if only .0000000000000001% are doing the right thing.
The question isn't why am I trying to help Stein win; the question is why you aren't.
I don't protest vote. I think that's stupid. That would be like writing in Mickey Mouse or something like that. I'm voting for a candidate's platform that I believe in, not against another candidate's. Ironically, a "protest vote" would more accurately reflect many votes for Harris, i.e. people who didn't care about her platform but wanted to stop Trump.
BTW, my vote was not ignored. It was counted. You can see how many votes Stein got on her Wikipedia article.
So you are admitting, in your own words, you're not interested in doing anything useful, you only care about grandstanding on your soapbox about your proclaimed moral superiority.
You and everyone who didn't bother to vote for the ONLY candidate who had a chance to win against trump made a path for his reelection. Your arrogant stupidity contributed to making the living nightmare of the west bank and gaza palestinians 10 times worse. You can choke on your dumb rationalisation.
Everyone who voted for Harris demonstrated that genocide was not a deal-breaker for them. Gazans being starved, tortured, and killed was not a red line for them. And yet they pretend that this position gives them the moral high ground to condemn others, as you're doing here.
I understand why you're angry, but that anger should be directed towards the Democratic establishment: Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and all the rest who enabled a genocide.
