Some people would rather let the train run over 5 people instead of 1, just so their own hands stay "technically clean"...

I voted for Harris, but I'm really sick of this argument. Trump is president because too many Americans are racist shit-stains, not because of the tiny minority that think it's sad when Arabs are murdered.
And the democrats’ own analysis has shown that if Harris took a stand on Gaza she would have won easily, exactly as they were told before the election.
And if the democratic establishment had told Biden “you’re done” in (say) 2022/23, and had an actual primary (which Harris would have likely won in a walk) there would not have been the nasty taste of a coronation for people to contend with.
I don't think Harris would have won at all. In 2020 she dropped before Iowa... That's before any vote was even cast. Against Trump Biden polled the worst of all candidates, Harris polled the second worst. There is just no reason to think she would have ever earned that position on the ticket.

Harris said she was against genocide and would do everything to stop Israel except stop selling weapons.
Trump promised genocide.
Americans chose Trump.
The lesson is that to win the election, Harris should have promised to kill more Palestinians than Trump. It's what Americans want.

This is a great point. There are some people who just will never vote for a candidate if they feel that the person supports genocide, even if it means their livelihood will be impacted! I guess we should factor those voters in when we select candidates. Would hate to lose again!

It's crazy that harris prefered this over giving some paly group a little speaking spot at the convention.
Get this liberal shit away from me
Time to post this again.
Bayard Rustin was a gay Black man who was instrumental in making the March on Washington happen. Even though he was a close ally of MLK, he never pushed King to speak on gay rights, because he knew it wasn't something america could handle in 1965.
Frederick Douglas supported Abe Lincoln in 1860, even though Lincoln has said that abolition wasn't as important as keeping the Union together. There was an abolition candidate, but Douglas didn't think he could win, so Douglas decided to back the person with the best chance in hope of having a seat at the table later.
now, instead of a gaza genocide problem, we have a gaza genocide and iran genocide problem. that's of course ignoring the america genocide, the climate apocalypse, and the healthcare and economy crises, which were bad before, but now....
not that 3rd party/ abstainers are responsible for all this, but i really want to understand what they thought they would accomplish by yelling and shouting about the 100% guaranteed fail route of sitting out or voting for jill fucking stein
