A vote for Jill Stein, Cornel West, Oliver Chase, or not voting, is a vote for Trump. Palestinian lives don’t matter to Trump, nor do they really matter to Harris; however in general, Harris will be better for Americans than Trump, so vote for Harris.

A vote for Jill Stein, Cornel West, Oliver Chase, or not voting, is a vote for Trump.

Just as a vote for Nader was a vote for Bush.

Imagine if Nader didn’t run. Imagine there was no Green Party candidate for US President.

Gore would have probably won, and America would have been the better for it. Probably no Iraq war, maybe not even a 911. As a result Iran probably wouldn’t be as strong, and Putin probably would have less to legitimately oppose about the US, and would himself be seen as less legitimate—indeed Ukraine might still be whole today.

A new Green deal would probably be in full swing.

Granted, Harris doesn’t really care about Palestinians, and some elements of the Democratic party care even less; but Trump cares even less than Harris, and what he will do to the US will be worse.

So while Israel massacres civilians and steals more land, at least under Harris American women would still more easily get abortions, we will have fewer TGs committing suicide (maybe), and health care will be a little more universal.

Also with the 100% tariff on Chinese EVs, the Big 3 will be able to better produce good inexpensive cars (as they’ve been at least somewhat intending these past several decades), and fascism will have less of a hold on the US.

Therefore: vote for Harris.

If you are a progressive: vote for Harris.

If you are an environmentalist: vote for Harris.

If you are a libertarian: vote for Harris.

If you support voting reforms such as proportional representation, rank balloting, the abolition of the Electoral College, and/or more political diversity: vote for Harris.

If you are nauseated at the idea of voting for Harris: take a barf bag with you while you vote for Harris.

If you are a Palestinian-American who has a relative who was injured, maimed, or even murdered, in Gaza, you should still vote for Harris, because again, Trump doesn’t care about them either, but at least you, as an American citizen, will get a better deal Harris than under Trump.

(I’m not entirely sure if I agree with all the above, but I find it hard to refute.)

    vague, unsupported take.

    Bruh I offered 3 legs of support, enough to build a table, stfu.

    they can and did win against the most popular demagogue in US history a few years ago.

    Yeah how did they do that? Because what I recall happening is that Joe Biden took significant steps to the left after beating Bernie on super-tuesday to build a winning coalition. Harris is running to the right of Biden on literally everything right now.

    I’m not sure what you’re confused about here.

    No ones’ confused about anything, you just have wrong/ incoherent response.

      “Bruh I offered 3 legs of support”

      If one of those legs is your faith in the american auto industry, I eviscerated that a couple comments over.

      nobody asked me about the other two.

      “Yeah how did they do that?”

      Trump lost because more people voted for Biden.

      “you just have wrong/ incoherent response.”

      examples?

      what are you confused about?

          I’m making very clear, logical points and responding immediately and directly to comments from dozens of people, quoting them so that people can easily apprehend the context of my comments.

          you are the only one who keeps complaining that you don’t understand what you’re reading or what very simple words and concepts mean.

          You are confused.

          You can ask for clarification on what you’re confused about.

          some people are picking it up faster; you need a little extra help.

          go ahead and ask.

            No I’m not. Other people are calling you out in this very thread for being obtuse.

            complaining you don’t understand

            There doesn’t appear to be anything to understand because you are blithering.

              “No I’m not”

              you keep complaining that things don’t make sense to you, but you won’t ask questions about the things that are confusing you.

              you are complaining about them instead of trying to find a solution.

              “There doesn’t appear to be anything to understand…”

              you are confused.

              that doesn’t mean there aren’t any ideas to understand, it means you are unable to understand them.

              That’s not a problem with the information; it’s a problem with your comprehension.
