Because who you can vote for is controlled by wealthy people and corporations that lobby the dominant parties, because the only way to amass that much support to run a campaign is through the Democrats or Republicans. You can’t vote for who you want, you must always pick the lesser of two evils.
America has never really had proper democracy at the federal level if you can’t vote third party, realistically.
Do you think a political party that actively and willfully prepares an opponent for the current elected head of state that belongs to their party could survive for any length of time?
Of course, it’s worse than that. They clearly want Harris 2028.
Competitive primaries are a feature of any organization democratic enough (in the philosophical sense, not the “Democratic Party” sense). As long as you don’t actively fight for the leadership of the Democratic Party, they are going to continue screwing you and ignore any political demand that isn’t timid enough. Just my two cents as an European.
I can’t stand my party running a tough on crime prosecutor. Harris is an awful pick for high office and her unremarkable term as VP speaks volumes about how many policy decisions she genuinely has strong feelings about. She’s milquetoast, uninspiring, and would likely cost us another election.
Fuck off with assuming that everyone who disagrees with you does so simply because of gender or race.
Out of curiosity, let’s say someone wants to make the best possible decision for Palestinians. Meaning using their vote to produce the best possible outcome for Palestinians.
Who should they be voting for? How would it impact the situation? Why would that be the best? What is the risk assessment? In other words, how likely is successful, how good is success and how damaging is failure?
Seriously, why can’t they get a better candidate? 😕
Because in 2020 not enough Democrats voted for the better candidate.
Such a sorry state of state affairs.
because first past the post voting socks

Ah, so it’s just corrupt rich people screwing the world over like always…
Did you guys prepare a candidate capable of primarying Biden?

You people always let the mask slip when you mention Harris. You just can’t stand a Black woman being that close to the Presidency.

They always could argue against Harris. She’s got some pretty big skeletons in her closet. But they never do. It’s always
“Wait, why is Harris bad?”
“Oh, you know”
Or you get the vague “unlikeable” stuff. They don’t know a damn thing about Harris, but they hate her guts with a passion anyways.

I’m voting for someone better. It’s an option. They probably won’t win tho
Given the stakes in this particular election, I don’t think it’s a good option
What are the stakes? A genocidal maniac vs a genocidal maniac?
Found the white leftist.
Moghafil, you don’t get to use my people’s plight as an excuse to get out of your bare minimum duty to protect lives with your choices.

You’re voting for the guy blocking the ICC from prosecuting Netanyahu btw
https://www.commondreams.org/news/netanyahu-arrest-warrants
And by not voting for him, you’re voting for the guy who gave Netenyahu the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights.
I know damn well who Netenyahu would be voting for if he got the choice, and that’s all you need to know too if you aren’t just a bougeyvik fascist.
Not to mention the guy who ALSO will block the ICC from prosecuting Netanyahu.
Not how voting works
probably the guy blocking the International Criminal Court from prosecuting him for documented war crimes

You’ve got your head on straight. Screw these attempts to guilt you into voting how someone else wants you to
