If you’re an unhappy voter and want other unhappy voters to hold their noses and vote for the major candidate they least dislike, think about the Golden Rule.

It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?

    The things you mention are bad, yes, but they are also no different than the alarmist rallying cries that have been used every 4 years for the last… forever.

    alarmist? Look at the state of the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v Wade. Look at the state of the climate that’s wrecking us with heat, massive fires, and hurricanes every single year now. These are real, material issues that we’ve been needing to address for decades, and we’re paying the price for failing to do so.

    All of this vastly outweighs any nebulous benefit you think will come of voting for a 3rd party, whatever you want to call it.

      So this election cycle it’s climate and the Supreme Court for you. That’s great. If you feel Harris will help fix those things then have it. The policies I’m voting for will absolutely help with those issues. Every 4 years there are going to be major major things that folks think their particular guy or gal is going to fix. And then they won’t. And then there’ll be another (or the same) set of things in another four years. I’m gonna go ahead and vote for some real change instead.
