    What about all the innocent women who are dying in our country because of who trump appointed to the supreme court and the result was the overturning roe vs wade?

    See state ballot initiatives. they’ve been far more effective in 4 years than democratic presidents and congress critters have in 5 decades.

    What about the kids who get massacred in school shootings because Trump and people like him won’t support increased gun control legislation?

    see above.

    What about all the innocent people of color who have been killed by police? Do they matter to you?

    see above. biden and harris support the police remember? they actively fought against police reforms.

    If trump gets into the office not only will the Palestinian people be far worse off, so will every group I mentioned above and more.

    yes that is unfortunately true, maybe you should inform harris to change her position on genocide to ensure the other groups are not put at risk over her hubris? On the flip side its a lot easier to protect the groups you’re white knighting for in your local community via your local reps and processes and your own personal actions.

    Maybe you should realize you can in many states safely vote third party for president and democrats down ballot and essentially have the same national outcome while simultaneously undercutting the genocide harris is dead set on committing. thereby giving left wing congress critters more leverage with harris post election.

    What you are really telling everyone here is that you are unwilling to give up a bit of your privileged lifestyle over a little bit of genocide. That says more about you than it does about the individuals withholding their support from harris.

        oh dear am I embarrassed!

        • legalizing weed -> state ballots.
        • min wage increases -> state ballots.
        • legalizing mushrooms -> state ballots.
        • health care improvements -> state ballots.
        • abortion -> state ballots.
        • LGBT+ rights -> state ballots.

        seeing a pattern here?
