When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest

Just think if everyone voted for what's right and not because someone online is calling them a fool if they vote different.

Obviously you believe I'm not voting for what I think is right, except I actually am. I'm not Harris' biggest fan and thought she was a mid Senator, but she was probably the conservative dem I would've been the least upset about in the 2020 primary. She's far better than Biden, who only beat out the actually billionaires in my ranking.

On top of that, she manages to be the best option for president on the ballot in my state.

I despise the green party for focusing so exclusively on the presidency. It makes me think they aren't serious about accomplishing anything outside of thoughts and prayers. On top of that, Stein is shit as an individual politician and my view of her worsens with every run.

The only other left wing 3rd party is the openly tankie party, and I'm not big on those that lend support to empires for simply not being American. I'm not voting for RFK Jr., Capitalists, or Homophobes, so Harris is actually the best choice in my view.

The president shouldn't be as powerful or important, and quite frankly, we've been more successful working within the Democratic party than outside of it. The 2 party system will not go away without election reform done by working within the parties. It's shit democracy, but the only right thing to do is play with the cards we're dealt.
