    1. you didn’t read the post you are replying to.

    2. your stance is irritatingly naive.

    If pro-palestine single-issue voters sink the Harris ticket there is a real chance they wont get to vote again. If perfection is allowed to be the enemy of progress you will inadvertantly elect the regressive party. A party helmed by a guy who has said publicly on multiple interviews he would sic the national guard or military on protestors, undesierables and political rivals.

    It is frustrating to have to keep going over this, either the correct choice is made by the US citizenry and the status-quo continues (as poor as that may be) or the guard rails of democracy are dismantled by a wanabe dictator and your prefrences wont be asked of you again.

      Do you understand what a genocide is? Or do you think it’s “a war in some far away land I don’t need to worry about”? Do you understand that people lose their loved ones daily? There is no “perfection” there is just a person supporting genocide, wanting votes from people who have family, friends, colleagues suffering in Gaza. You don’t get votes for not doing what your voters want you to do. That’s the truth, and frankly people going “oh but you still absolutely MUST vote for our guy” are obnoxious. No, they don’t get automatic votes when their policies are horrible.
