“Even aside from this genocide, it’s been difficult to get Harris to take a firm stand on other things I’m concerned about like trans rights; having some sort of meaningful, humane immigration reform; and taking a stand on climate change,” Meghan Watts, a North Carolina voter told The Intercept last week. She was deciding between Harris and Green Party candidate Jill Stein. She ended up leaving the presidential section of the ballot blank on Tuesday.
Edit: Just in case I need to clarify what meaning I take from this, I think this person has diarrhea where her brain should be. How can you blame Kamala Harris for not “taking a firm stand” when you won’t even take a firm stand on whether or not the US should become Nazi Germany? When it would have cost you nothing at all?
Even if you don’t watch the news or anything, you were there for 2016-2020.
Edit2: I thought about it a little bit more, and I don’t think that anymore. I think this person is made up. 0.4% of the voters picked Jill Stein in North Carolina. I don’t know what percentage of those 0.4% thought about picking Jill Stein but then decided to leave the ballot blank, but it’s probably even smaller. I think it’s pretty unlikely that The Intercept happened to pick this person out of the 248+ they would have had to go over in order to find that voter, and asked her only to coincidentally have her spout this perfect narrative. It’s too neat. Maybe it’s true, and they just found the perfect victim who could articulate the narrative in perfect form, but I’m skeptical.

It’s anecdotal for sure. Polls, even with a large margin of error, would be more reliable inputs to try to make any kind of conclusion.
