We had a bad choice and a worse choice. So i said let it all fall. I’m a sociopath that’s fine with seeing minorities being brutalized and killed so long as I can maintain some kind of bullshit ideological purity.
Worse option is exiling American citizens, tanking the economy, persecuting minorities, taking away rights, ignoring the constitution and, notably, full backing genocide in Gaza.
Bad option would not act to stop genocide in Gaza.
That was never the criticism from anyone actually opposing Trump. The criticism is that she built her career as a cop, locking people up for minor offenses, fighting to keep them in prison for cheap labor, and then went on to campaign for the most lethal military machine on Earth. But sure, go ahead and whitewash her record because it’s easier to joke than to confront the fact that your “lesser evil” still has blood on her hands.

Yes it was. It was a dumb and invalid argument, but it came up more often than it ever should have. It was an EXCUSE to not vote for her, because it was easier to say that than to admit that they’re just afraid of a woman in power.
I realize there were many more valid reasons to dislike her but compared to trump, she’s a goddamn saint. Plus, I liked her VP pick better than trump’s. She also would have selected a much more competent and qualified cabinet.

Those are all valid criticisms, but trump built his career as a criminal, is deporting people for minor offenses, fighting to deport innocent people to prison labor camps in countries they are not even from, and then went on to campaign for the most lethal military machine on Earth.
So comparing the two with just those criticisms, it’s a wash. And then adding on all the other AWFUL shit trump is doing, especially “project 2025,” it’s no contest.

I’m not whitewashing anything, I made a sarcastic comment mocking the misogynists who have put a LITERAL AUTHORITARIAN MADMAN in the presidency because they couldn’t handle a woman president.
When our choices are : lesser evil or absolute evil (and the third choice is: just let absolute evil win), we really can’t let petty things like “annoying laugh” (again- just a lame excuse for misogyny) go.
I was accused of having “blood in my hands” for voting for Harris. But really, protest voting against Harris is drenching yourself in that same blood plus gallons more.
I only really saw those criticisms of her from people already on the left. What I saw (in generalized and slightly exaggerated manner) from conservatives was, “NO, SHE’S A LIBERAL, WOKE, COMMUNIST WHO WANTS TO DESTROY AMERICA!”
To which most people I saw on the left respond with, “Communist? The former cop and DA?”
She was an attorney working for the executive branch, not a cop. Applying for a job higher up in the executive branch. If we are going to call everyone who executes the laws bastards, then you can’t vote for anybody to join the executive branch, as you are willingly choosing to make them a bastard apparently.
Just so everyone is on the same page, to you the slogan All Cops Are Bastards applies not to all corrupt people in the legal system that abuse us and imprison us, but it’s exclusively police officers?
Every criticism presented is completely true. She would have been better than trump, but she was a terrible Democratic candidate. She would have made a better Republican candidate if her campaign focused on her prosecutorial career.
but but but guys, Kamala Harris had a weird laugh….
/s
And the emails… Bondi will make sure it gets done!
I think you dropped this:
Is Trump still worse? yes, absolutely. But maybe the Democrats could try running candidates that aren’t obviously terrible if they want to win.
We had a bad choice and a worse choice. So i said let it all fall.
FTFY
At lest vote 3rf party.
Otherwise the material reality is that you got out the way for the worse choice. Obstruction isn’t ideal, but its helpful none the less
Fuck you
At least with the bad choice more people would have energy and resources to fight back in more meaningful ways.
Worse option is exiling American citizens, tanking the economy, persecuting minorities, taking away rights, ignoring the constitution and, notably, full backing genocide in Gaza.
Bad option would not act to stop genocide in Gaza.
Clearly the same thing.

That’s literally what I’m saying.
At least she isn’t nazi, traitor, piece of shit like Trump.
She absolutely is a Nazi. A nice Nazi that supported genocide.
Liberals have supported plenty of genocides.
As have socialists.
If you didn’t turn out to vote you didn’t oppose trump.
I said criticism, you think no one who opposed Trump should have criticised former cop who built her career on locking people up?
ACAB, just not one of the worst kind?

Just checking.
This is untrue.

Hope the next election (if there is one) goes your way and the candidate is perfect.
