    Since being primarily concerned about the genocide is that unpopular of a position then why are you so concerned? If Harris made the decision that those voters are not as important to her then that’s that. You can’t have it both ways no matter how many self-righteous posts you make online.

      Sounds like you don’t actually care about what happens and just want to feel self righteous and make some noise. So… the exact kind of person I had in mind making this.

      You couldn’t argue on the merits, so you went with, “Haha, sure, I’m doing bad things, but it won’t matter so why do you care?”

      Do you need me to spell it out for you to make it really obvious how dumb that argument is? Or were you just trying to be facetious?

        Not voting for a candidate who is tacitly supporting a genocide on that basis is not “doing bad things” no matter how much bad faith spin you try to add. The candidate has to earn the vote and that applies to non-voters too. Some people care about certain issues enough to abstain from voting on that basis and others vote strategically because its not a team sport. You just want validation for your own voting decision by implying those abstaining from voting are directly or indirectly responsible for your candidate’s opponent winning which they are not. If Harris wins or loses it will be based on her and her party’s policy and campaign decisions.

          Did typing that feel good? I mean, if you’re going to be playing ‘fuck around and find out’ with millions of lives, at least you should be getting something out of it, right?

      Because elections in this country are often decided on fractions of a percentage point.

        Either it makes political sense for her to adopt her current position or it doesn’t. You can’t get voters on both sides of an issue but you can mark where you stand on it and have people vote accordingly.

          What an astounding way to say absolutely nothing.

            If they are decided by a fraction and you made the correct the political choice then you win. Hope this helps.
