    Dems have shifted right and they are center right. There is no real left with power in this country.

    No disagreement here

    So I’m not going to vote for diet right-wingers.

    So given: “There is no real left with power in this country”
    The outcome of the November election will be “Diet right-wing” or “Extreme right-wing”.
    For someone who is so anti-right-wing I am surprised at your unwillingness to do anything to prevent the extreme right wing from gaining power.

    Do I wish the Democrats and Harris would do better? Absolutely. Do I think Republicans and Trump will do so much worse? Absolutely.

    There is a trolley going down a track with 5 people tied to it. There’s a lever that will slow the trolley down so it only runs over 2 people.
    You: “I refuse to pull the level because that would be participating in the situation. If I do nothing more people will die but I can sleep happy knowing I didn’t make that happen. I just did nothing to mitigate the damage.”
