Until she is elected, I will be a solid supporter. As soon as she's elected, I'll go back to being a critic. But lordy, I'd vote for a literal clown before a Trump.

This thread is a honeypot for annoying accounts to block

Ah yes, the latest in-group propaganda campaign. Please honor me with your downvotes.

It's funny, because Republicans are running the exact same propaganda on the reverse.

There's a Ben Garrison cartoon floating around that insinuates not voting for Trump is the same as murdering babies.

These candidates seem to stand for nothing. At least Obama and Biden lied to us about DC Statehood and closing Gitmo and student debt relief. Bush pretended to care about pro-business immigration reform and privatizing social security. Even Trump had "The Wall that Mexico will pay for".

I've got no idea what Trump or Harris are actually campaigning on this year other than to say they aren't the other person on the ballot. Even RFK is in on the act, having folded his campaign because he doesn't want to upset MAGA voters.

No, she isn't. What needs to be said is that she presents far less danger for our country than Trump does. It really sucks having two candidates you don't like, but for the sake of integrity, you have to always choose what you believe is the lesser of two evils.

Douche and Turd Sandwich, every last time. Does get a little old.

Hoping to be pleasantly surprised by Harris once she doesn't have to pander to the "center" - and I say "center" because anyone considering voting for Trump in the first place is not in the "center" and if they are, we're worse off than I realized.

Nothing I've seen while she's been in office suggests she's going to be anything but a Mitt Romney tier corporate hack.

She's got a rich and eager pool of progressive voters to court - voters she was happy to pander to back in 2020 - who she has spurned since she became VP. She's taken an outright reactionary stance on immigration. She's abandoned any support of a public health insurance option. She's all in on genocide in Gaza. She's taking enormous amounts of money from Crypto banks and gig economy CEOs. She got an endorsement from Dick fucking Cheney, so you can guess where she stands on fossil fuels.

But she's not Trump, so...

💯

Still hoping to be wrong though.

She doesnt have to be perfect, just better than the fat shithead her opponent is.

I once heard politics likened to public transit. No, it's not a door to door service that gets you exactly where you want to go. However, it can get you in the general direction you're headed, and it's obviously better to get closer to your destination than going opposite damn direction.

We're moving a bunch of people around, not everyone can have a perfect route.
