Politics Comm can’t understand why people don’t like Harris running right at every opportunity. Must just be bad actors wanting trump to win cause they’re critical. Or just upset DNC is sprinting right after convention

but if I genuinely believed she’d try to stop the genocide I’d hold my nose and voted for her, I’ve (I’m embarrassed to admit in such a cool radical space)

That’s nothing to be embarrassed about, if that were a campaign promise (though her being the current VP and the genocide still going on would be fucked in it’s own right) then that’s a real reason to actually , it’s something actionable and would help millions, tangibly by allowing them to live, if ever voting in this hellscape mattered that’s a compelling reason to. I’m sure many of us were ready to vote for Bernie because of his campaign promises and like that campaign, of course we can’t have that, because this democracy is a farce

No I mean like I voted for Biden because the “Look he can’t possibly be worse than Trump, do you really not care about abortion rights?” propaganda got to me even though I found Biden himself despicable (and then he turned around and committed genocide, so much for harm reduction. That’s what I’m kind of ashamed of.

If I genuinely thought Kamala Harris would be Biden term 2 unchanged except working against the genocide instead of for it I’d be browbeating everyone I knew to vote for her.

Ohh I hear you. I do wish more people would reflect like you have on the promises Biden gave and the administration we got. Amnesia has taken hold.

I’d also be voting for her if she vowed to change course. Funny how you can get my vote that way.
