I feel like some of the people here should consider why we all know she would vote the same way if an election was held immediately after making this post.
They are getting something that they desire more than lower grocery costs or anything sane things any sane person would value.
They are getting to hurt marginalized people with their votes.
This is their single voter issue, and its the reason why no matter how much they've shot themselves in the foot, they'll buy that 500 dollar advil their insurance denied coverage for and load up another shell.
They don't evaluate politicians based on if they're happy. They evaluate politicians based on if who they hate feel sad.
Because, except for a minute percentage, all of you vote team color, no matter what.
That minute percentage gets to be finger-wagged at for not wanting to vote for a party that is enthusiastically supporting a genocide killing their family and friends abroad, or sitting idly by while fascism takes root here in the US, or ignoring that basic living is becoming unaffordable. Because, totally, why should anyone expect that working full time pays for rent, utilities, health care, AND groceries?
You can not want to do something and still recognize that abstaining from that vote is against the best interests of those who will be harmed if the wrong people end up gaining power. I sure didn't like voting for Kamala. But I'm smart enough to realize that was the best option I had.
No.
You, like them, are just a-okay with swallowing excuses. That or you're one of the folks fortunate enough that your only concern is making it to brunch. The rest of us pay for our groceries, medical bills, power bills, and rent and know full well just how evil the lesser evil was in this election.
Why didn't i think of voting for the non-existent awesome choice in the last election? Voting for non-existent awesome choice would've solved all of our problems!
There was a good choice in the primaries: Marianne Williamson. You guys decided you wanted the brain dead old guy.
She was even opposed to starving Palestinian kids, but I guess that wasn't a big enough selling point.
