The atmosphere is so heated, and the statements are getting more and more extreme. Let’s just assume Harris wins the election. After a campaign like this, how could you ever have a normal relationship with your pro-Trump neighbor/father-in-law/Uncle/Barber or what ever again?

    I’m flattered you looked at my history, but you didn’t have to spam my comments. Yeah I’m a Bernie guy, not a Republican. I feel like the democratic party has given up on progressives like me so I’m disinterested in voting this time around. I’m getting tired of people accusing me of being a trump supporter, not going to lie.

    I’ve always been a very anti war person and find it funny everyone is calling Trump Hitler when Biden/Harris are actively supporting genocide. But hey what do I know, right? “Vote blue no matter who” bullshit every year with no primary, right?

    I feel as if boycotting this election is the moral high ground and it’s fucking rude that people keep telling me it’s equal to voting for Trump. How is that a tactic to get people to vote for your person anyway?

      There is no “vote blue, no matter who”. There is “vote against fascism”, plus many of us like the blue candidate.

      I’m all for your goal of two sane candidates, one blue and one progressive, and will be very happy to join that debate. Let’s get there first

        Sorry but I think people are taking the whole Trump = fascist thing too seriously. Both candidates are really middle of the road moderate. People just get really excited right before the election

      It’s fucking rude that you’re prioritizing a fake moral high ground over the lives of the people who will suffer and die under the fascist GOP.
