    I am not pretending that I care that people don’t vote for Harris.

    I fucking care because I don’t want a fucking genocidal dictator. Why don’t you care about that?

      I am not pretending that I care that people don’t vote for Harris.

      Then you think you’d care about the nine people who will ultimately decide this election. You’d think that would lead to more calls of “Pack the Court”, “Fight illegal felony disenfranchisement laws”, and “Support universal mail-in voting”, rather than “Fuck you for asking what anyone supports”.

      Instead, I’m seeing someone who is willing to waltz blindly into another Bush v Gore SCOTUS sponsored upset while screaming “Fascist!” at the Naderites.

      Why don’t you care about that?

      The difference between caring about this election and caring about democracy is in wanting your team to win this round and wanting general participation in democratic institutions after November.

          Again, I want to stop the genocidal dictator.

          Netanyahu is going to be President regardless of who wins the US Presidency in November.

              They don’t seem to matter under Biden, when Abbott is doing them.

              Does Harris indicate she’ll crack down on Abbott’s state goons or rein in the DHS officials that have sided with him? Or is she going to continue turning a blind eye?

                I asked why they don’t matter to you.

                Lying about Abbott committing a genocide of Latinos and queer people does not answer that question.

                  Lying about Abbott committing a genocide

                  You’re terrified of 2025 but you’re willing to pay denialist for one of Trump’s staunchest allies?

                  Fuck of, Vatnik.
