    If I had a nickel for every time people on lemmy discredited voting 3rd party or progressive candidates under the excuse of “muh RCV” or “vote blue no matter who”, I’d have enough money to bribe the DNC into splitting into multiple parties.

      It’s so insane. They’ll yell about the genocide all day but then vote for the candidates supporting the genocide.

      Who do they hate the most? Jill Stein, the candidate who opposes the genocide! Make it make sense.

        Not only that, they’ll yell at the people who voted for anti-genocide candidates. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told that I voted for genocide, by vorting for an anti-genocide candidate.

          Yeup, same here. They’re just trying to use the genocide now to guilt-trip voters who didn’t support Harris. Because her genocide would’ve been better, I guess??

          She had an entire year to put her foot down and say, “This is fucked!” and the best thing she could say was “We gotta make a deal.” No details, no idea what kind of a deal. Oh, and lots of excuses for Israel.
