Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

This thought process makes no fucking sense though because the other guy did too...
Kamala was very obviously the "better" choice for Palestine.
Yes, she's still a shit choice for Palestine.
But I don't understand this logic, this person is going to let a genocide happen if we elect them, the other guy is going to let a genocide and a fascism happen.
Someone make it make sense
Some people don't like being taken advantage of as much as you do. There's your answer. They don't like being given no meaningful choice, and that's what harris represented.
Put yourself in the shoes of someone who doesn't support genocide if you can imagine it. You don't get a primary, and the candidate you get is as pro-genocide as the one you would have voted against in the primary. You've been railroaded. You knew the guy the party wanted wasn't gonna win. You know this one isn't gonna win. You know that smug genocide supporters are gonna blame you no matter how you vote, even though they're the ones that refuse to listen to the people. After all, they would rather you have no choice. They made that clear when they robbed you of it.
If you want to win elections, then you have to listen to the voters. If you push an unpopular genocial candidate like Kamala Harris on the voters, "the other guy is much worse" argument is not going to save you.
Makes a whole bunch of sense when you consider a lot of America still just can't accept the idea of a woman as president, and they'll use any excuse they can to make themselves feel better about the misogyny.
A whole lot of people wont vote for war criminals of any party, its that simple. If Harris had half a brain she would have read the polls and known she had no route to victory in supporting Israel.
If you want to now cry and point fingers, go ahead. You got maneuvered into supporting war crimes and now you want to pretend to be better than other people. You're down in the mud with the rest of us. You're no better or worse, but you are being a smug jerk with nothing to be smug about. Thats pathetic.
I think you think I'm like pro Harris or something, I'm very much not. I'm just talking about how utterly illogical it is to choose the greater of 2 evils.
If you can't morally vote for a lesser war criminal I honestly understand it.
You just need to admit that you've helped enable trump
