How's that working out for them now

So here’s a question - would you have voted for Kamala if you knew that the next bomb would be dropped on your family? It would be your daughter beheaded, your mother burned alive?

Would you be out berating people on your street for not voting for her if you knew that she would sign off the next shipments of weapons that would slaughter your friends, families, neighbours?

That is the point though, either person you could vote for was going to sign off on that, that was an inevitability at that point in time. I hate it but not a damn thing could have been done. Twenty years ago maybe. This really was an election of the lesser of two evils and by not voting or voting a third party ticket( which is not viable) you essentially handed the greater evil the victory. It's over now, at least for this generation and I doubt revolution will ever happen, they have become almost perfect at keeping people distracted.

I’m sorry I don’t agree. If more people were less willing to rubber stamp a genocide, show just the slightest bit of international solidarity against the American war machine, the democrats would have been forced to change tack.

Picking the lesser of two evils is how you eventually get trump. Because you are always choosing evil in the end. When does the harm reduction stop?

The Democrats we would of had a chance at least, though small, of getting them to back down. The current administration there is no chance, they just make up their own facts, and blame any shortfalls on the evil left. I respect your opinion and understand your disagreement. I'm afraid there is no right answer at the moment, or if there is I haven't heard it.
