    Only one of two people will win. You’re asking this person if they considered voting against the less awful choice.

    I’m sure we’re both pissed off about how protesters are treated right now. Only one of two parties is saying we need National Guard, deport the protesters, that presidents can execute whomever as an Official Act, that the military should be used against the opposition over speech.

    Yeah, so go with your “nach Trump kommen Wir” plan, it will be equally hard to achieve socialism either way, NBD. Not sure why it isn’t, “equally hard either way so let’s pick the ones at least pretending women and LGBT people should have human rights,” but you do you.

      I am asking people to listen to directly and indirectly impacted people, rather than thinking they are more “enlightened” than them for voting for the genocidal establishment. Additionally, both parties have been cracking down on pro-Palestinian protestors, Walz even sent in the National Guard after BLM protestors, that’s not a real point.

          The Uncommitted movement didn’t say to vote for Harris. And yes, Walz sending in the National Guard against BLM protestors is a bad thing.

            You can read the article if you like. Or continue to participate in a distorted reality.

            I disagree that arsonists were actually with the protesters. You have a really delusional perspective that allows you to pretend sending in the guard at all is the same as black vans. Or this. Or this.

            Alright, link me to some of the worst of the Dem federal response to protests about Gaza. I’m ready to be wrong.

                Arrests are the same as black vans and the president urging for brutalization of protestors, I see.

                  Of course they aren’t 100% the same, why lose face when you can let your opponent do it for you? There’s good reason the Democrats let Republicans do whatever they want unpunished, they both serve their corporate donors above all else.

                    I see. Both sides bad, and colluding. Ratchet effect. But instead of pushing the gear so we rest against a tooth, allow the ratchet to do another click. Ignore Uncommitted, since we don’t like what they’re saying any longer. Listen to individuals when we like what they’re saying. What we like is to have a ratchet click. Then socialist revolution with Repubs at the helm.
