    You won’t have a hard time arguing that Donald Trump is a massive piece of garbage, but your comment presumes that Kamala Harris and the Democratic party are entitled to votes.
    You’ll find there is a large portion of the Democratic base who are not motivated to vote for a pro-genocide candidate, which is exactly the entire point of this poll. The Democratic party needs to do better and stop fighting against the progressive wing of the party if they ever want to regain the trust of working class people. At a bare minimum you would expect them to respect international law. Then again, they’re doing exactly what AIPAC and defense industry paid them to do, same as the Republicans.

      My comment presumes her opponent was a rapist fascist dictator. But that wasn’t enough for Americans.

      And the Democratic Party isn’t going to do better because it will only exist in name only from now on. You and others got what you wanted. Now you’re going to have to live with the consequences. If you live.

        As someone who voted for her, if you could stop blaming others for having strong feelings regarding who they give their vote, that’d be very chill. At this point I am pretty comfortable telling you that you’re causing more division and strife than you are helping. And, as far as I last understood, you’re out of here, right? If you could do me a favor and stop demotivating those of us trying to stick it out and fix it, I’d take it as a kindness.

          You know what I would have taken as a kindness? Not having a bunch of queerphobic bigots get put into power.

          No, sorry, I won’t stop giving my opinion about the mistake America has made that has forced me to drop my entire life and pack everything into a couple of suitcases so that I can ensure my daughter is not taken away from me so that you can feel more motivated.

          Abso-fucking-lutely not. My life has been destroyed by this. I will never see my elderly mother in person again. So you and anyone else who want me to shut up about the dire mistake America made are just out of luck. It will not happen.

          (Gotta wonder if you would tell a refugee from another country where they had to flee to shut up about it because they were causing divisions back there.)
