    Voting doesn’t mean you support them.

    You aren’t giving them money, you aren’t campaigning for them. You are saying that between these two, admittedly fucked up, parties this is the one you think that will be better.

    So for the presidential election, vote to reduce harm - not to increase it.

    If you want to do better, support, fund, campaign for third parties down line. Local elections and build the momentum until they become a viable presidential candidate. Work to reform the electoral system that can dismantle the two party system.

    But don’t think voting for Harris is de facto supporting the Democratic party.

      Then give me a party which does not allow harm to be done to the innocent. I will gladly vote for them.

      Ah, so someone could vote for Trump, but then say “I didn’t vote for Trump because I support him.” Does that make sense to you?
