The Dems have had a stronghold on the youth vote despite the party's political failures and broken promises, but young people are tired of "lesser evils."
Because I hate the idea of encouraging people to set themselves up to become lifetime losers. Its bad for them. It’s bad for progressives. It’s good for conservatives and reactionaries.
No. What is bad for voters is when voters do not vote for the viable candidate that is closest to what they want. When they don’t do that, they are setting themselves up to become a lifetime loser in politics. They will either never get what they want, or if they do get what they want, it will only happen because of other people voting differently than how they vote.
And here is what you do not understand. The reason for voting for a candidate isn’t to do any favors for the candidate. It is to do yourself a favor. If you don’t vote for the best candidate because they didn’t “earn” it that is incredibly stupid., Because you are not “punishing” that person – you are primarily punishing your own self. Harris is going to be just fine. You are going to be fucked in so many different ways.
I accept the reality that votes must be earned. You seem to be under the impression that being second worst is sufficient to win.
You seem to be under the impression that people who voted for Harris did so in order to Kamala Harris a f*cking personal favor. None of us who voted for her did so as a favor. We all voted for Harris to do ourselves and the country a favor. You’re gonna be screwed by Donald Trainwreck just as much as everyone else. Probably more them me in fact.

Courting voters is bad for voters?

None of you will ever understand that votes have to be earned.

I voted for Harris. Not everyone is like me.

The last election just showed you were wrong.

You will never get it. If you don’t earn people’s votes, they stay home.
You just saw it happen.
