it sucks that the choice between the fascist telling people that haitian immigrants are eating their dogs and the woman who worked for the legal system in an effort to do good things is such a difficult choice. like wow there really is no lesser evil between the guy who said covid would just "disappear like a miracle" and the woman who thinks people should be able to have bodily autonomy and access to vital healthcare. it's so unfortunate that there is absolutely zero difference between the guy who said we would "never have to vote again" and the woman who wants to raise taxes on the ludicrously wealthy. what a shame that there's just absolutely no way to choose between the man who thinks disabled people should just die and the woman who wants kids to never go hungry and never get shot at school. and the choice between the guy's side-guy who wants woman to be nothing more than baby-making maids and the woman's side-guy who thinks period supplies should be easy to access? forget it, that's an impossible choice
what a truly terrible, terrible, election where neither party is acceptable in any way. voting just simply doesn't matter because they're both utterly abhorrent people with absolutely no differences at all
[reading comprehension disclaimer: this post is thoroughly sarcastic and intended to mock people who insist that voting is meaningless and that both parties and candidates are identical]
#xenospeak#for clarity's sake. i do not like harris. i think her dedication to supporting israel is disgusting.#but i acknowledge that her stances on other issues (especially those that more directly affect this country)#are infinitely better than anything trump is bringing to the table.#also. as much as it fucking sucks to say this. harris and walz are literally as far left as they can be while still having a chance to win#they are as far left as they can safely get while still being palatable to the average american and unfortunately that's how elections work#regardless of who wins this election palestine is going to continue suffering.#which is fucking horrible. but it can't be changed overnight with a popularity contest.#so you might as well vote for the one who at least has *some* really good policies.#i am fucking begging people to stop approaching the election from such an idealist and privileged point of view#and to start approaching it from a realistic perspective and with a minimum understanding of political strategy.
