it really should not have mattered how far left or right harris was… she was still left of the opposition, and she is not a power-hungry, vindictive shitstain on humanity hell bent on destroying the nation and the planet all while scamming millionsbillions of dollars in the process.
marking a straight line democrat ballot should have been the easiest decision ever. you gotta start somewhere. no democrat is going to appeal to all or even just all who are ‘left of center’. it is way too diverse of a group. in the current political landscape it will take numerous election cycles to shift congress and state houses left far enough to actually get the stuff that matters accomplished. so take what you can get instead of shitting on the country and everything else just because you don’t get every single thing you wanted out of one candidate. you can’t be this damn picky in a general election where everything is literally on the line. the time to be choosy is during the party primaries (yea, i know there wasn’t really one this go around, but she is the sitting vp ffs. plenty good enough… better than good enough. especially considering the circumstances of her candidacy).
they vote single issue, and they are unified. democrats, progressives and other like-minded citizens need to wake tf up and do the same.
