    I hate the two party system, but I have people I care about who will be put in danger if the Annoying Orange is elected. Another harm reduction election, I love it.

      Seems like half of democrats didn’t feel like you though. You might as well have voted for a party that is not conducting a genocide, so now you can go to sleep at night knowing that you didn’t vote for a child murderer, oh well.

        I considered not voting as well. I am Pro-Palestine, but I am also factoring in the lives of everyone who will be negatively impacted by a Trump presidency. Below is a visual to show you both our choices. I hope you enjoy your clean conscience while funding is pulled from Ukraine, leading to even more loss of human life, and Trump making all forms of protest even more dangerous. Voting for Democrats is not voting for genocide, it is voting against genocide+. That was our one chance to stop this shit show from quickly getting worse.

        If you would like to make this country better, please use the next 4 years to organize with the Democrats. This election has shown that the left needs to be a unified front if we want to win. If you cannot make hard choices to ensure we even have change as a choice, that is up to you. I do not feel guilty for trying to keep mild forward progress intact, instead of being an observer and allowing the Trump train to run over people unimpeded.
