    I’m campaigning against Trump, not for Harris.

    If we had a third option that had an actual chance at winning I would be singing their praises and campaigning hardcore for them. Unfortunately if it’s not Red or Blue most of the population doesn’t pay attention.

      You’re trying to get people to vote for the administration currently committing genocide.

      You’re going to bubble in Harris, not “not Trump,” so say it with your whole chest you cowardly fascist.

      You want people to vote for little girls like Hind Rajab to sit in cars with their dead parents and siblings in terror until bullets that you also voted for kill her.

      You’re voting for the systematicremoved of Palestinian hostages.

      You’re voting for young men to burn to death on their hospital beds.

      You’re voting for men to be buried alive in mass graves.

      You’re voting for schools and hospitals to be bombed.

      You’re voting for children to be deliberately starved to death.

      You’re voting for bulldozers to run over living men women and children.

      You’re voting for the genocide.

      I don’t care if you say it’s for abortion rights.

        Where I live, the last several elections have seen every county go Red. It doesn’t even matter how I vote.

        That being said I have also voted third party the last few elections.

        Do I want the genocide to end? Fuck yeah I do, but I also don’t want it to start here in America.

          you don’t want genocide to start in America? It’s already here and its’ been ongoing for centuries, what the fuck are you talking about

          Every time one of your kind talks like this it sounds like you mean “genocide for middle class white liberals.” Try and look inside yourself and ask what’s already happening or has happened to the most vulnerable groups here in America. Look inside yourself and ask what you’re actually afraid of happening, and what you’re doing about it. If you’re worried about queer people, bipoc folk, Native Americans, Muslims, refugees, whoever, they’re already in dire straits and it’s been this way for hundreds of years, and it happens no matter which president in is power. The only fight against it comes from mass organizing in spite of whoever the president is

          try and ask yourself why you think Kamala Harris, who is currently committing genocidal actions, would not extend these genocidal tendencies towards our existing vulnerable populations. Why would you trust a genocidal imperialist at her word? Do you think America will be the first empire in history that keeps its violence external? Did we solve Foucault’s boomerang? That’s already not the case, the external violence is already here. Go do some work at a shelter, join an org, get on the ground and do some fucking mutual aid and stop patronizing people over bubbles on a piece of paper. Some of us would rather not offer ceremonial support to a literal imperialist arms dealer which the hope that maybe, maybe she’ll be less murderous than the other one.

          like why would you ever put any amount of trust in this plan that Harris will sacrifice Palestinians for the sake of vulnerable Americans. Why do you think she’d even be a different administrator than Trump? It’s already shown to be false, can’t you see that? The Biden administration has been exactly like the previous Trump administration. There’s no fundamental difference other than Biden is less funny.

          Western chauvinist idiot. America was founded on genocide and it has not stopped! But I’m sure as oblivious to the genocide of indigenous american people as you are of Palestinians

          So your county is 100% going to Trump, in which case what was the whole point of you wasting time here lmao. You know how a dictator would have elections but you could only vote for the dictator. That’s (probably) your state right now. You can vote for whoever you want, but the giant (metaphorical) Trump portrait staring down on you while you’re at the polls says it all. Harris is going to get BTFO in your county just like Biden was BTFO in 2020 and Clinton was BTFO in 2016.

          Is this a thing where because you’re de facto disenfranchised in where you’re living that you waste so much time and energy online trying to convince online randos to vote for Harris in the hopes that you’ll convince some dude living in Michigan or Georgia to vote for Harris instead of “wasting” their vote on a third party?

          Hey, what party did you vote for? Hey hey real quick, what party? Why be vague about it? Weird that you’re so vague, when you’ve been so open and honest otherwise.

          Do I want the genocide to end? Fuck yeah I do, but I also don’t want it to start here in America.

          Ah I see, you belong to the “fuck you, got mine” ideology. Glad you can at least approach honesty.
          You obviously do not give a shit about the genocide. If you did then you’d not argue for Kamala. Saying stuff is real easy. That’s how it always is with you types. “Oh I support the cause” Yeah now do something “uhhh no uhhh actually uhh that might impact me uhhh” you’re a worm.

      What state do you live in where you have a ballot option for “Not Trump”? Oh, what’s this? You’re planning to pick “Harris”? But I thought you said you weren’t voting for her . . . . Oh! I see, so you’re doing the same thing a “real” Harris supporter does but you just are renouncing it in your heart as you tell everyone else to do the same? That’s weird, usually the people saying “vote Harris” talk about hating “purity politics,” but I can hardly imagine something that better fits that phrase better than imagining that holding an ideal of moral purity in your heart means absolutely anything to identical political actions.

        Voting for Harris isn’t a vote for Harris, but voting for neither Harris nor Trump is a vote for Trump. Gotta love lib mental gymnastics.

      They said as the tried to get people to vote for Harris.
      Are you really so stupid you do not realise this, or just kinda stupid enough to think we’d believe an obvious lie?

      If you’re campaigning against trump, then why are you wasting your time here? Nobody here is arguing that people should vote for Trump.

      So you don’t want us to vote for Orange Hitler (as if anyone here was going to do that). You also don’t want us to vote third party, or abstain from voting. Process of elimination leads to only one conclusion: you want us to vote for K-dolf Hitler.

      Oh, yeah, yeah; that’s totally different, that’s an entirely different matter…

      EXCEPT IT’S NOT YOU GODDAMN PECKERWOOD, YOU ARE STILL PENCIL-WHIPPING A GENOCIDER TO SPITE AN (EQUALLY GENOCIDAL) OLD WHITE MAN.

      It doesn’t matter why you’re doing it, it doesn’t matter how you try to couch it, your ‘campaigning against Trump’ still assumes that the only ‘correct’ option is to vote for the cop that pledged full support for the illegitimate settler colony’s pogroms. You nazi fuck I wish we could send civilians to the courts that god willing every Israeli perpetrator will see. You nazi fuck I can smell the Hugo Boss on you and I wish they’d hang you in it.
