Again, and this is painful to repeat so often:

  • you have to pick one or you accept the worst case
  • neither offered a different plan for american international involvement in the belligerent invasion, destruction and genocide in gaza
  • one of them was vaaaaastly different in every other fucking respect
  • single-issue voters are like crack to the conservative machine because they can use them so hard
  • ...second only to non-voters

I agree with your point, but you must agree there was absolutely no feasible outcome of this last voting process that had any advertised improvement for gaza from America -- but there was at least hope in the candidate those losers didn't vote for.

Some voters vote for the future. Some for accountability for past actions. You don't get to tell people the right way to vote.

In many ways, you're advocating an inferior strategy. Politicians lie all the time, and their campaign promises are mostly wishful thinking. But holding a party accountable for their past actions actually has real data to go off of.

Except electorilism isn't a useful never mind the only method for changing society, as well as other options even for voting and anti-genocide should be basic. Never mind Harris isn't "vastly different" she promised the most lethal military, cracked down hard on sex workers, promised to be extremely tough on the border, as AG discriminated against imprisoned trans people, promised to increase police budgets and I could keep going.

So you're saying you don't grasp that it was either Harris or Trump and that there really is no argument for which one is worse?

Because that's what the person you're responding to is saying and you don't appear to grasp it. Despite being a pretty simple concept.

Seems like you can't grasp that they have refuted the other comment's point. They grasped the point just fine and then dismantled it.

It's always the same with common sense posts like yours on Lemmy. You get more upvotes than downvotes, which is good. But the number of downvotes is alarming and not a great sign for America's future.

This country has a SERIOUS problem with common sense and accepting reality.
