Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?

It’s not surprising that people don’t show up to vote if they don’t believe they have a voice. Provide proper representation for them rather than the slightly different shades of purple on offer now. Allow them to voice the nuance of their positions and you’d probably have Kamala as the president elect right now.

This is just the trolley problem - you’re trying to force them to pull a lever when many people feel that the only moral choice is not to.

Give them a way to participate and they’ll be able to weigh the options.
