      That’s not what I’m saying. You can absolutely continue to condemn and fight the democratic party on any topic you deem worthwhile.

      But putting that tiny mark on the ballot paper might ever so slightly get the world moving closer to the ideal you imagine, instead of veering away from it.

      That is the rationale I’m using here.

      Voting doesn’t mean you support them.

      You aren’t giving them money, you aren’t campaigning for them. You are saying that between these two, admittedly fucked up, parties this is the one you think that will be better.

      So for the presidential election, vote to reduce harm - not to increase it.

      If you want to do better, support, fund, campaign for third parties down line. Local elections and build the momentum until they become a viable presidential candidate. Work to reform the electoral system that can dismantle the two party system.

      But don’t think voting for Harris is de facto supporting the Democratic party.
