        Meaning they were not fine with either winning.

        I would like to ask, what is the point of voting according to you?

          At the very least it’s harm reduction.

          Harris wouldn’t be trying to dismantle the government right now if she had won.

            Harm reduction is great, but if I do not see a candidate that represents me I am not going to vote.

            Why would I support someone that is fucking me over?

            If I had the final say in who gets to be president I might have picked Harris, but honestly, your vote is not going to change the outcome of the election, so why compromise your morality?

              What a bunch of self serving bullshit. You and everyone else who decided to sit on their ass instead of voting for the better but not perfect candidate are responsible for everything Trump is doing right now.

              Not voting isn’t going to somehow get you better choices. It’s not like we get a do-over if everyone stays home.

                I am not responsible for what Trump is doing. But you, if you voted for Biden, are responsible for the genocide in Gaza. And you would have been responsible for what happened under Harris, and let’s be honest, it wouldn’t be much different.

                  This is just bullshit… And one of the reasons why the barely functioning democracy is on the best way to an autocratic fascist oligarchy.

                  There’s two candidates to vote for. One is bad for the Palestinians, one is much worse for them. If I don’t vote, the one that is much worse gets a higher chance of winning…

                  Democracy especially if you only have 2 choices is about making compromises.

                  Apparently a lot of people wasted (likely) all their future choices for an absolute *** (there’s two many words that are fitting). That Trump still has such a high approval just confirms to me that we as Europeans should just cut ties with them.
