    You’re making a lot of assumptions here. I don’t even know what you think you are arguing against.

    You seemed to be arguing for not voting or voting third party rather than voting for Harris with the whole “firefighters” analogy.

    I was pointing out that by many not voting, or by voting third party, we’ve ended up with someone who is not only not a firefighter, to continue you analogy, but someone who is actively setting the fires.

    Now I hate democracy and progressives and Palestinians apparently? You’ve broken the thread here.

      That is the assumption from centrists every time someone wants them to be better, yes.

        Then what do you mean? No firefighters were running, therefore what? What would be the correct action for a person to take when voting in the 2024 presidential election?

          Therefore they should have grabbed a hose.
