      Except it didn’t work. Polled the entire American population and was found that it don’t work. Would you like to try that again next election or do something different this time? Cause right now you seem like you reeeeeeally wanna try the same thing again next time. Hell, throw some extra bacon on the grill. You gonna sacrifice trans people next? Gay marriage? Cmon bubby. What’s the next sacrifice and I am curious when you pick one that includes you

        You guys have sacrificed trans people and probably gay marriage by electing Trump. Its a stupid argument when those things are literally already under attack by the guy you let win.

        You guys already have picked one that includes all of you. An anti vaccer in charge of your health.

        Things are 100% going to be worse for Gaza under Trump. You didn’t win anything by electing him.

        You guys fucked it so bad it’s literally unbelievable. You got tricked by the don’t vote against trump propaganda campaign and can’t even see it.

          Assuming things is bad for conversation like this so let me be clear that I voted Kamala

          So take all your insults and pack it back up and try again. My argument is that it is ultimately kamalas fault for not giving the left anything to vote for. I wish we could have lesser eviled here but ultimately it’s the Dems fault for choosing to be a little evil when they could of easily of chosen no evil and won.

          I blame the organization and organizers of the campaign for thinking they could gamble on this by remaining pro genocide and failing.

          I blame the organization who was told clearer than any election that people will not vote for them on this one issue, concede or lose, and they as the decision makers chose lose

            I don’t disagree with that. And they were absolute shit. But blame who you want the world now has 4 years of trump to deal with.

            My argument is if the left didn’t want her electing Trump is an absolutely ridiculous response.

            You vote now and protest later.

              I felt against it when writing it and I appreciate you being the voice to back me off the angry ledge. I will remove it.

      However you cut it it’s one parent or two. One parent is always better than two.

      I thought you were joking but from the pattern of your other comments I see you actually beleive this. How about a third option, when someone threatens to kill your parents, you kill them instead of making a deal with them on who they murder? Did you even think about that possibility?

      Seems like you choose to put yourself in a trolley problem, rather than life actually putting you in one.

          I know you see it as saving a parent, because for whatever contrived reason you cant save both, but letting one of your parents die instead of fighting for whats right is actually a pretty decent metaphor for voting for Harris.

          Where your metaphor falls apart though is that Harris could have chosen to break with bad policies and forge her own way forward on the genocide and the economy, and she just didnt bother. No one ever had to die, and she didnt need to lose. All she had to do was try to do the right thing and be worthy of the office, and she didnt do that. So here we all are.

            It’s literally the analogy put forward by someone else that I was responding to.

            Moving the goal posts and changing the question to invalidate my answer is pointless.

            However you look at it she was better than trump. You’ve cut off your nose to spite your face and indeed here we all are.
