yes i think we agree on most things just that i can understand and have sympathy for people not voting or voting for someone else than trump/harris because of palestine, and for me those people are not "fucking idiots". being forced to vote for the person/party that is comitting a genocide feels like being in a horror movie, an episode of black mirror.
Well you don't live there, do you, and neither do I, so in that sense it's academic.
What I'm seeing in a lot of Americans is an attitude that could be summarized as: "I am privileging my own righteous rage against the Democrats for supporting Israel above trying to stop the Republicans, even though they are, in the
best possible case, just as bad as the Democrats in this regard, and clearly worse (to far worse) on every other issue, from women's rights and gay/trans rights to the climate/environment, jobs/economy, race, drugs/guns/cops/prisons, etc. etc., and even though their leader is a convicted felon and serial rapist who mocks the disabled, robs his own charities, openly wants to fuck his own daughter, has stood on a nativist, racist and religious-fundamentalist platform since day one, has pretty much stated that he intends to dismantle democracy, and is supported by various dictators, every neo-fascist organization going, and the Ku Klux Klan. Also there's something about that Harris woman that just rubs me up the wrong way, idk."
It's a complete abdication of responsibility to try and prevent the obviously worse outcome happening in favour of gratifying a personal sense of "Ha, that'll show you." And yeah, I find that repugnant, or at least inexplicable.
