And yet, here we are. How is this even a choice?
Because nothing is real, everything is a game, and us poors are just pieces.
Because conspiratorial thinking has flourished, creating a whole set of fantasy worlds to believe in where anything can happen as long as it proves you were right all along when you were an asshole.
Her unwaivering commitment to genocide and corporate donors, flip flopping on major issues and her gratification of Dick Cheney
If Harris started saying "from the river to the sea" at her rallies, she'd drop 10 points overnight. If she was still for a ban on fraking, she'd lose Pennsylvania by 10 points. Cheney is really a waste of energy but a non- factor.
Being against genocide in Gaza is a populist statement and position. So are things like sensible regulations and remembering what happened in Flint, Michigan. This whole, "you must either be for genocide or an antisemite" claim you got going on isn't a good look.
And no one has done the polling in the Harris camp... the first priority is to protect our democracy. We won't be able to do anything about helping the Palestinians if Trump is elected. But I am sure you'll be happy you stuck to your moral high horse when millions of undocumented are put in camps themselves if the Felon wins along with when so many other atrocities start up here on US soil. Good for you!
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

And she'd drop 5 more points in Michigan if she started the "from river to the sea" shit from her base that she would lose, even with 100% of the state's Muslims supporting her.
Why is the only other logical choice in your mind that Kamala must either support genocide or spread antisemtic statements? How in the world do you see that as the only two logical options?
I don't. I want us to cease funding offensive weapons, while still helping to fund the Iron Dome and to defend Isreal if they are attacked. That'd lose her 20 points in the polls because being nuanced would just piss off both sides, especially moderates. She would need real political capital to do so, and I hope that's her play once elected. It's obvious she can't show her cards on this till elected. Do I like the country's political balls being held by AIPAC? No. But it's the reality we live in.
A majority of Americans disapprove of Israeli action in Gaza:

I'm not sure where this narrative is coming from that it is an unpopular opinion to stand up to Netanyahu.
If she loses she'll just blame everyone but herself like Democrats always do. Obama is already trying to blame black men saying they are chauvinistic.
Isn't revising your positions when you get more information or change your morals a good thing? I hate the villainization of changing your views. It's such a childish understanding of the world where that's a bad thing. It's probably part of why our society is so divided now. We've used "flip-flopping" as an insult, so anyone who ever admits they did something wrong or changed their opinion must be a bad person. In reality the opposite is true. Admitting fault and growing as a person is a virtue that should be rewarded.
When the subject matter you're flipping on is Medicare for all, fracking, And the death penalty. Um. Nah.
Both your posts just sound like someone whining because they can't have it their way; in this case, apparently your complete inability to direct the conversation is the problem. Which would imply you're whining at yourself...and you really are. It's rather nauseating to be honest...
It's always projection with these people. That and a willingness to sacrifice everything around them to fulfill their entitlement.
Everything you said is Donald trump. And he's a convicted rapist, insurrectionist, conman, serial liar and everything else in the image. Again, how is this even a choice? Or do you consider chocolate and shit equivalent?
Okay. No where did I ever say I was voting Trump. It's just feeble minds can't imagine any other scenario.
