The person isnt made up though. Too many people calling themselves left didnt vote because the Democratic party isnt perfect. They ruined all chances to get a better candidate in the future
I never heard a single person claim the parties were the same this election cycle, and I certainly didn't hear anyone say they wouldn't vote for Harris because, "the Democratic Party isn't perfect." I heard lots of people say things like, "I can't vote for Harris because she's supporting a genocide," and while I believe they should have voted for her based upon harm reduction, I understand their perspective and I'm not going to reduce it to a false caricatures.
Does it matter bro? They sold out all the women and queers in America for a country that hates women and queers. (Im lgbt i can say that)
Im a queer woman who “sold you out”. All of that tech that Israel’s using against the Palestinians in their genocide will be used against us next.
I don’t give a fuck. Cry about it. Being out to brunch for four years when you should of been holding the dems accountable like you all promised the left (just this time we swear we’ll push them left after they get elected!) resulted in this outcome.
OK, so if Harris had decided to roll back protections on the queer community, came out against gender affirming care, and started supporting, "pray the gay away," shit, would you want straight people telling you to suck it up? Would you want them telling you that you're a piece of shit if you don't vote for her? That you're stupid not to vote for her because Trump is worse? Having the emotional distance to make a cool, detached, "lesser evil," argument is a position of privilege, and I don't assume everyone shares it.
Harm reduction for who? The dems aren’t allies to anyone they pretend to be allies towards, all they care about is fundraising and protecting their corporate donors.
Those Palestinians sure don’t feel “harm reduction”. Immigrants? The dems will also throw them under the bus. Trans people? Same thing. Women? They’ve had fifty fucking years to protect abortion but cynically fundraised off it instead.
Fuck democrats and the vote blue no matter who idiots who support them. Y’all a bunch of easily manipulated fools.
No, it’s not they “aren’t perfect”. It’s that they support a fucking genocide.
