I'm telling you the reality that Harris or Trump will be the next POTUS. Which one do you want it to be?
I'm not required to want either.
"Either some Ukrainian soldiers die, or Putin takes over Ukraine, that's the reality"...
"Oh! So you want Ukrainian soldiers to die!"
Being prepared to risk something is not the same as actively promoting that thing. This is not up for debate, it's a basic fact.
You're putting up a false-equivalency. It may well be that a bunch Ukrainian soldiers die and Russia takes over anyway. It might be that they don't put up a fight and others step in. (Highly unlikely, but not a forgone conclusion.) There are other scenarios that might play out.
On the other hand, either Trump or Harris absolutely will be the next POTUS. Which one do you want it to be? Answer the question this time... no explanations required for your choice. Which one do you choose?
Or we could look at it this way.
Either Harris gets fewer votes, or the Democrats get the message that supporting genocide is OK with the electorate, that it's a choice they can make without electoral repercussions.
One of those two things will happen.
Do you "want" to give the message to the Democrats that genocide is OK by you?
Or is it rather that you'd be prepared to risk that to avoid a Trump presidency?
