If you’re so worried about Trump being elected, maybe you should push for Harris to adopt better policy so people are more comfortable voting for her, rather than shaming people for not wanting to vote for the lesser of two genocides.

A lot of people are both pushing Harris on this issue, and warning that Trump would be far worse.

A lot of us who are worried about Trump getting elected, ie. me who is disabled and bedridden, if I lose Social Security I die, also don’t have the capacity to push Harris much as those who would suffer the most under a Trump term, tend to be the most vulnerable people in society.

No, you’re not, unless you’re a billionaire. Kamala doesn’t even have policy positions on her website. It’s just a short bio and a donation portal.

By pushing Harris I mean going out and protesting etc.

Republicans however have made their plans clear. They plan to cut medicare, ACA, planned parenthood funding and lots of other affordable health care (in addition to all the other heinous Heritage Foundation shit)

I can’t control Harris’s policy choices. I can only control my vote, and I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Harris because Trump is a monster.

You can absolutely pressure Harris, though. Join a protest.

People said the same thing four years ago: Vote Biden and then push him to the left.

What we got was another right-wing Democrat who, once they seized power, didn’t care to listen to anyone.

I’m going to vote Green. I already know my vote is worthless, so I might as well vote for a party I actually support.

Now I definitely know you’re a Russian troll. This is exactly the kind of political apathy the Russian regime wants to establish in America after having done so at home years ago.

Yes, anyone who disagrees with you politically must be a Russian troll. I can’t imagine why genocide would push someone do do something as extreme as vote green.
