That’s true, that was not you. We did have a good chat and iirc you had voted for Dems up until Harris? I forget but you weren’t against voting, you just had the single issue that defined all others.
Yeah, but that’s where we are now and it’s very very bad. I disagree that change of the kind you’re looking for will come about through throwing the election to avowed fascists, but it is at least a defined position with room to move forward, which is a lot more than some of the other intransigent non-voters.
I think "throwing the election" is overstating it. Harris lost votes because she decided to continue arming a genocide. The democrats know that...if they didn't know it before (doubt), they do now. Their position cost them votes. That's what their post-mortem says, according to Axios anyway. So if they don't change course, they're choosing to have fewer votes. They really really should not risk choosing to have fewer votes.
