Good point. You should never compromise or work with anyone who doesn't share 100% of your goals. /s
Genocide apologia
Yes, you're right, it is awful how these self-proclaimed leftists play apologist for intensifying the genocide in Gaza and committing genocide on American minorities at home.
You don’t have to justify and validate a genocide in order to vote for Harris. I am in a swing state. I will vote for Harris. But I won’t belittle and disparage anyone who chooses to vote third party or not vote because of the genocide. If she loses because of this adherence to a failed policy, that is on her, not the millions of voters who are deciding based on their perspectives and principles.
"I am just a voter, I have no responsibility for my actions as a citizen in the polity I vote in" is such a compelling line. I wish I had the kind of privilege where I could pretend that decisions of the polity were as inconsequential as voting for my favorite color instead of something the lives of millions ride on.
I’m sure Ryan Wesley Routh agrees with you.
Yes, as we all know, one of the unique rights granted by citizenship in a polity is [checks notes] extralegal assassination.
Do you ever read what you write before you post it?
I just follow your logic, or lack thereof.
"Voting is a duty that we wield uniquely as citizens of a polity, and it is an act that has consequences, and should be taken seriously."
"By your logic, citizens have a duty to KILL"
You may want to take a 101 class on logic.
I don’t have to misquote someone to make a defective point.
"Voting is important and something with actual consequences."
"I'm sure [recent attempted assassin] agrees with you."
That you?
Vote Blue No Matter Who.
Except trump-never is a possible goal
