      It’s possible to be upset that you have no candidate who opposes genocide, no matter how preferable you think genocide(D) is to genocide(R).

        it’s a trolley problem. realistically, there are only two choices in the presidential election, and it’s our responsibility to vote for the one who will cause less harm. I fucking hate Kamala, but I held my nose and voted for her because trump is causing even more damage

        in an ideal world, we could have a real election and vote for an actually good candidate, but that is not the world we live in

          But all of you people who held your nose and voted for her are the reason why she felt able to run on a pro-genocide platform. If you all had more morals, the Democrats wouldn’t have felt safe running a pro-genocide candidate. (See the game can be played both ways when we decide not to blame the people who actually deserve it — those at the top).

            It’s called the ultimatum game and we know how actual people play it.

            You’re given £100, but you have to offer some of it to me. If I don’t accept the offer we all get nothing.

            We know, because we’ve played the game a bunch of times, if you’re greedy and don’t offer enough I will punish you. The Dems/Harris was greedy, and as such everyone was punished.
