    Ok but I just want to clarify before we valiantly and romantically take the fight to fascists…

    … Did you muster the courage to vote for Harris, return2ozma?

      No. I said I wouldn’t vote for a genocider multiple times throughout the year too. I’m in California so my POTUS vote had zero effect. I voted for everything else and left POTUS blank. Trump won in a landslide. Even if single issue voters about Gaza 100% voted for Harris, she still would have lost.

        If down votes were votes, maybe Harris would have won in the swing states, and not California where your vote literally didn’t impact anything, except local elections.

        Don’t let them gaslight you into thinking that you somehow personally swayed every swing state to Trump’s fascism, while they stick their head in the sand of how Harris lost and why.

          Last week a dude was swearing to me that Kamala lost because of the “I did that” Biden stickers

          Jesus fuck

          So even though:

          • The popular vote doesn’t matter
          • Electoral College is all that matters
          • Ozma lives in California that voted for Harris
          • And that one vote doesn’t somehow flip the entire EC to Harris

          It’s his fault Harris lost?

            I noticed you kind of hop-skipped past the whole down-ballot races thing, didn’t ya?

            You know. The California races that in the end decided who won the House? Sure hope their district had absolutely zero relevance whatsoever lol.

            Forgetting the fact that they seemed vocal enough in trying to stop others from voting for Harris, too. But I’ll eat my words if they can link a comment of theirs where they advised battleground voters to support Harris.

              If I recall, they live in Long Beach, I don’t know the house results for that area.

              In my personal area, it was between two Republicans, one personally supported by Trump, one personally supported by Trump’s allies. Both were for Trump and his fuckery with the system. I r

              And on the Assembly, it was two Republicans again, “Republican shithead” and “Unknown crazy Republican shithead”.

              I hate living in redneck rural shithole…

            lol when did I ever say you were a Republican? This is indicative of a broader education issue quite possibly.

          Harris didn’t have to run on us having the most lethal military in the world, but she made that choice.

          It’s on her and establishment democrats at large.

          I don’t believe Democrats would have been any more humanitarian, they just take longer to do their killing. Just look at Gaza, that happened under a democrat. A gigantic demolition site sponsored by Biden.

            haha!

            Trump says, “Finish the job” to Bibi while transferring the embassy to Jerusalem and you think you’re going to get more results with Trump than Harris? Even if at best the same, as the Venn Diagram proves, it’s deeply illogical. You drank the online Russian vodka and now more Palestinian blood is on your hands.

            (Forgetting the obvious fact that you’ve got Ukrainian blood on your hands now, too, since Ukrainians also wanted Harris over Trump)

            The kids want to “fight fascists! >:(” but can’t bother educating themselves on the issues enough to realize they’ve fallen for the classic — textbook even — BoTh SiDeS fallacy that is peddled every election cycle.
