This is the most horrible way to convince people to vote with you. I, personally, would tell you to go fuck yourself if I weren't already voting for Harris. Please stop that. You need to convince people why they should vote for your candidate by showing them the difference, not this "or else" bullshit. and if they are not convinced, you let it go. People are free with their damn votes.

"Or else" isn't bullshit when it comes from the perspective of anyone who actually has something to lose if Trump wins.

Everyone who is on the fence or doesn't feel like they need to vote are just speaking from positions of privilege because they don't personally have as much on the line. I just find it hard to sympathize with that perspective.

But the same thing can be said for the people ignoring the faults of Kamala...

Especially when they're just begging for an end of genocide, or fracking destroying their communities, or any other of multitude issues where Kamala and Trump have the same policies even though the majority of the Dem voting base disagrees with them.

It seems odd to act like the "high road" is the one where genocide is ok, when we could just have someone who was anti-genocide...

There's fall less people willing to hold their noses to vote for genocide and fracking than the other way around. And very few people who are only voting for Kamala because her border, genocide, and fracking policies are the same as Trump's.

The people that want that are still voting trump, if they told you that it would change your mind....

I hate to break it to you, but they lie about this shit all the time so even if they lose they win.

No one is ignoring her faults. She is just less flawed then the alternative. People need to learn how to vote. It is literally the only zero sum game that matters.
