I like how none of this giant wall of text contests that you're talking about votes from an insulated place of privilege. You'll also notice that I never tried to influence who you vote for, I simply asked about why you voted that way. I let you explain why you would or would not be losing less if Kamala had won. (I will say thought, If you feel penned in when asked to explain your thoughts, it might be a sign they require more consideration.)
I don't give a shit how you vote, I just wanted to see the thought process behind folks who obstinately refuse to acknowledge that things are on a continuum, instead viewing things on a binary level. I want to talk to someone that believes so hard they they were willing to sacrifice, not someone to whom a vote is inconsequential no matter what.
You know how in flatland, the 1d dot cannot be blamed for not knowing there exists higher dimensions?
To your life experience, the candidates were genuinely are the same. That is both enviable and pitiful.
Cheers, have a good day.
Sorry, no matter what you're going to believe that a slow loss is the same as a win.
No matter what, you're always going to get mad at the people who don't fall in line over those who expect us to fall in line.
You're part of the reason why this song and dance will go on until the day I die.
I don't expect more from you people at this point. To do so would make me a moron.
Good job wasting your energy supporting fascism. You fulfilled your conditioning.
You've literally recycled bullet points from multiple posts while not acknowledging a single thing I've said, lol.
Your life experience dictates that both candidates were the same. I've understood that about you, and I know that that's why you don't believe in a "lesser evil", because to you they're genuinely the same evil. Your life doesn't change much no matter which was elected, so you feel free to vote your conscience. Does that sound about right?
Are you talking to me, trying to understand me, or are you talking to a caricature you've put up in your head? What makes you think I'm mad?
