    You can fight fascism abroad or end up fighting it at home. The failure of Biden and Harris to stand against genocide and fascism caused many people who might have voted for Harris to stay home instead. Can’t vote for Trump because he’s a fascist and wants to be a dictator. Can’t vote for Harris because she supports a fascist apartheid police state that is currently committing a genocide. So, vote for one of the two fascists, stay home and don’t vote at all, or vote for a third party. I voted for Jill Stein. I would have voted for Bernie Sanders if he had been on the ballot. I would have voted for Harris if she had the courage to defy AIPAC and stand up for what most Americans want, an end to funding genocide.

      Do you think it would have been better with Harris? Do you regret it? I understand that the blame is largely on Harris/Biden but you are still responsible for your vote. Do you think you did the right thing?

        I absolutely did the right thing. Politicians should earn our votes, not just expect them for not being named Donald Trump. If Biden and Harris are okay with genocide and fascism in Palestine then they are okay with it everywhere, including in the USA. Biden deported 37 times as many people during his first three years as Trump did in his first term. Harris was trying to out MAGA Trump. She was talking about how she would also deal with the immigration problem. She thought she was going to swing some Trump voters but ignored the issues that would have motivated leftists. 38% of registered voters didn’t vote at all. That’s more than voted for either party. At least I voted for someone who represents my interests and beliefs. Jill Stein opposes the genocide and she’s Jewish. The green party opposes all of this oligarchy and poisoning of our planet. The Democrats are Blue MAGA.

          The green party is also Russian backed just like Trump 😜 but, you still voted for her for some reason, even though she actively collaborates with a fascist who is performing his own genocide. Curious that one.

          Good luck with ever having a politician earn your vote again btw. You might not have a vote to give anymore with Trump ignoring SCOTUS orders and repeatedly breaking constitutional laws. It was worth it to show Kamala that genocide of Gazans is bad! (but fuck Ukraine am I right?)

              Two questions:

              Do you think that they really learned that lesson and took it to heart?

              How many people’s lives was that message worth?

                No I don’t think Kamala actually leaned that lesson and took it to heart because she is evil and doesn’t care whether genocide happens or not as long as it helps her career.

              Surely out 97,488 votes for Nader in Florida, the gap couldn’t have been made up the difference of checks notes 537 fucking votes. Gore won the popular vote but the recount came down to those 537 of which again over 97000 went to Nader. Two things can be true.

                So you agree that both you and I and NSRXN all have correct takes, just maybe without enough context. Which means NSRXN wasn’t being obtuse, he was correct that gore won that election.

                The difference is you think it makes sense to blame nader voters for bush getting to be president while I and presumably NSRXN place blame primarily on the supreme Court.

                Both sides here have some merit, neither are obtuse

                  blame nader voters

                  blame primarily on the supreme Court

                  Two things can be true.

                  Obtuse or ignorance

                    The election was literally rigged by Republicans to make a Republican win and you’re blaming Nader voters…
