    My vote is one of many who think this way. When you stand alone you are unempowered yes, but when you have a lot of people behind you then you’re a movement and you have power. The anti genocide movement has power that Harris needs to win, Our votes are there for the taking, and its up to Harrsi to choose whether she’ll pick AIPAC or us. If she picks AIPAC and the destruction of our republic, then thats on her. IF the continuation of our system of government depends on bribery to do the murder of innocents, then its time to change our system of government.

      Our system of government is fundamentally rotten and needs to be changed in general regardless of Harris. Not voting, resulting in putting a fascist in power isn’t how you do that.

        Allowing yourself to be steered by maneuvered into giving away your once every 4 years bit of negotiating ability is not the way you do that.

          If you think your only bit of “negotiating ability” is once every four years, you’re doing it wrong. Not only that, if you think not voting is doing anything to change anything, you’re actually just a straight up moron. Protests, local elections, pressuring representatives. If you actually care and aren’t just virtue signaling, do shit that matters.

            So wasting the chance to pressure our candidate in a close election is moronic huh. Alrighty friend.

            Protests, local elections, pressuring representatives. If you actually care and aren’t just virtue signaling, do shit that matters.

            I like how you list “pressuring representitives” on your list of “shit that matters”. Right next to “protests”. … I am literally pressuring our representative.

            do shit that matters

            Like you’re doing?

            But yeah let me know how your letter writing and sign holding campaign goes in the face of AIPAC domination of our entire governmental system. I am sure you will be successful with such bold and timely measures. Hey have you tried a call in campaign to representitives’s interns? I’m sure they just need to know what you think in order to choose to do the right thing.
