    What standards? If you can’t get over the concept and f an ideal president, you’re going to be very disappointed the rest of your life. You should absolutely advocate your preferences and cast your best vote. However the reality is that all too often you need to vote against the worst candidate or compromise on the least bad.

    Biden may not have been my ideal candidate either but it was an easy choice to vote for him over the other guy and I do believe he did better than most here give home credit for

          I voted for Harris. That doesn’t mean anyone should seriously entertain the notion that either Biden or Harris weren’t shit candidates.

          Yet here you are, pretending that “second worst” and “perfect” are synonyms.

          People stayed home because they saw that NO ONE was going to fight for them. There was no fucking point to voting since everything is going to get worse forever anyway. You got everything you wanted from Biden/Harris/Netanyahu. You didn’t have to move to the left. You got your fucking genocide. Now stop lecturing everyone who isn’t as happy as you with the shit choice you deeply love.
