This kind of sums up the larger problem.
Everything now is assumed to be one or the other. Picking Harris or Trump is assumed to mean you agree with everything they do. The reality is that there are very few who agree with either of them top to bottom. But, partially because of how the system is set up and partially because we’ve been conditioned to it, most believe they have to pick one or the other. That’s a situation that we’ve put ourselves in though. We should have collectively voted for someone else months ago (and before some smartass says “we did, we voted for Biden” forget that shit. Biden and Harris are the same choice.). Problem is that too many of us rationalized to ourselves a long time ago that it was Harris/Biden or Trump, and nobody else had a chance. But…that’s exactly why nobody else had a chance. If everyone would stop rationalizing and anticipating what everyone else will do and just vote for the candidate we agree with….neither Trump or Harris/Biden would be anywhere near the ballot.
Next time we have this chance, research past the headlines and look for a candidate whose positions are actually close to yours. If that’s actually Harris or Trump, fine…although I feel bad for you.
Personally, like I’ve said many times before, I’ve never voted for either of them, and I will continue that streak in November. I have that luxury because I don’t live in a state that is in doubt, so my vote is irrelevant. In this election, my sympathy does not lie with the immigrants, the furries, the gender confused, the Haitians, or the pet owners. It’s with the voters in Georgia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and the other battleground states that are in play and will really decide this election. Those poor people hold votes that have meaning, and they actually have to choose between the shittiest candidates in history…knowing that no matter which one they pick were in for another 4 years of chaos and petty political infighting.
