    Well you better tell that to every liberal who blames the left for not voting for Harris over the Gaza issue if she loses then.

      If they want to sit on their hands and not vote for Harris, that is their choice and their right. I disagree with them. If it ushers in a victory for Trump, they will have done themselves (and the rest of us) more harm than any words I could say then.

        I just don’t think I’ll ever see eye to eye with someone who doesn’t think applying pressure to politicians to stop promoting genocide is the right thing to do. I just do not understand that lapse in morality and logic at all. I hope I never do.

          Keep applying pressure to Harris, but withholding a vote from her will mean much more violence against many more innocent people around the world when you help Trump win.

          I just do not understand that lapse in morality and logic at all.

          Withholding a Harris vote because you abhor violence is you embracing morality blind to logic that you want to stop violence.

          In life we don’t always get the chance to make the “best” choice and are left instead to make the “least worse”. This is one of those times.

            And how do you apply pressure to someone without withholding your vote exactly? Because you guys sure didn’t do the whole “Hold his feet to the fire” shit with Biden, so tell me what will be different this time.

                You threaten to withhold votes until your candidate stops supporting genocide. I don’t understand what liberals don’t get about this.

                    Threatening to withdraw votes is the only way you can put pressure on the American voting system to stop genocide you fucking moron.
