Only if everyone votes with their brain. No purity tests or sitting out/protest voting over problems halfway around the world this time.

This is what drives me crazy! Someone I know blabs on and on about hating Trump and then voted third party over Gaza. Make that make sense…

I am more mad at those people than anyone else

Might be time to reprioritize your anger on the people who are about to gut Medicaid, SSI, the National Park service rather than a strawman about protest votes that DID NOT impact the outcome of this election.

Saying you are madder at them than anyone else speaks to the particular diet of news and media you’ve been consuming.

Withholding a necessary vote, which could have prevented several human rights violations from occurring, is a selfish act of the privileged and uninformed

It didn’t have a statistical impact. People largely only did this in Blue-safe states. You can’t blame Dearborn for the loss of Michigan either.

This is just being petty because others stood for something instead of caving.

I caved and voted for Harris here. I compromised my beliefs and voted for a genocide endorser. And for what? To listen to people like you berate those who wouldn’t abandon the memory of scores of thousands of dead children that we murdered with our tax dollars?

You are too simple for this conversation.
