I don’t think it’s enough, but it is enough to vote for them over trump.
And yet the electorate didn’t. The left warned you and you interpreted it as petulance.
Comment on North America contains some of the longest continuous decididous forest records on the planet.

If you feel otherwise I can only suspect you are privileged enough to not be effected by Trump’s actions, great for you, not great for the people being killed by ICE or blown up outside schools.
If there was another viable option I absolutely would not have voted for Kamala, but there wasn’t so your point so how is not voting supposed to be the better option?

It is petulance

It was pigheaded arrogance on the part of the genocide wing.
Centrists went in knowing they would lose. Happy to lose as long as you did your best for netanyahu.

Yes, I am privileged. I still do not see even a shred of worth in allowing the situation to get even worse next time around. They call it “strategic” voting but there’s not an ounce of good strategy and planning in that, just reactionary fear driving a short-term mistake that has historically only snowballed into a worse and worse situation.
I voted NDP here in Canada. People here would say that I threw away my vote, but in the end I used my vote to speak with my own voice and they freely gave their approval to a centrist government that is failing miserably and leading this country and whose approach is based in jerking off corporations at the expense of everyone else. The Democrats, like our Liberal Party here, are still far too confident that they’ll be able to run the same old “not the GOP” platform because they have decades of evidence to prove that that’s enough and after that they can do essentially whatever they want.
Speaking on the topic of privilege, it must be nice to be able to pretend that a center-right government that continually allows the far-right to advance its interests, even when the center-right holds all the cards, is a reasonable alternative. People still die unnecessary deaths in a corrupt system but, unlike with the GOP in charge, it’s quiet enough you can pretend that it doesn’t exist.

Nah man, no pretending. But there is an evil and a lesser evil. I just don’t see any logic behind voting for the more evil option. It will benefit nobody and harm more people. I would vote for a 3rd party in a heartbeat if they had a good campaign run. It’s pretty easy to tell if a 3rd party has made any kind of a splash by election date. In this last US election there were no other options, period. The Democrats suck, I get it, but those that didn’t vote for them are making things worse

The lesser evil should stop being worse than the previous lesser evil every fucking time.
Democrats chose losing policy. They knew it was losing policy and did it anyway.

What part about I agree with you but the alternative is more people dying do you not understand
