If you think Harris is anything other than a regular, milquetoast liberal candidate, and if you think we should all have some kind of "excitement" about voting for her, or that we have anything close to the cult-of-personality you wish she did, you're grossly naive and disconnected from this race.

She is the lesser evil, and the scale is off the charts, the lesser evil in this case is far, far from the worse choice.

The lesser evil is still evil. This is why are picking between two genocidal options between both mainstream parties.

What are your goals and how are we going to accomplish them?

I'll vote (D) down ballot for local stuff. Support parties outside of Dems. Community MA and local efforts. Harris still has time to change course and earn support.

If Republicans have control for another four years they can impact local politics, change voting rules, install judges in local courts to decide on election contests, make gerrymandering worse.

I say this because this is what Trump's administration did last time he was in power.

Is she though? Or have you blown it out of proportion in your head? She's never even been president and somehow she's directly responsible for the war according to you guys (the one she wants a ceasefire on)

She's trying to help people. Trump is trying to help himself and literally brags about fucking over people.

Trump is already laying the groundwork for another civil war again (he's just going it in a different way this time)

That's why he's repeating the "radical left democrats" nonsense and all of that, because similar to what the Nazis did, he wants people to see them as rabid animals so they don't feel bad about attacking them
