I’ve been called a harris voting genocider a couple times now. I’m Australian.
The other way happens as well. You can say you voted harris because its the lesser of 2 evils, then someone calls you genocider… 🤦♂️
Like, people forget how FPTP systems work.

Or I can say that I voted Kamala and I still hate that she supported genocide and get called a tankie.

What you need to keep in mind is that it’s not just voting, it’s also campaigning. If you’re a citizen who has opinions you share with your friends, that’s one thing. If you own a large online community that consistently puts out propaganda, that’s another thing. That’s campaigning. Voting for a candidate while campaigning against that same candidate is an action that confuses other people, because it’s self-defeating.

So we’ve moved from “you have to vote for the Democrats” to “you can’t publicly criticize the Democrats”

You can publicly criticise them. It’s just when that criticism looks exactly the same as an org campaigning against them that it’s sus.
