    They were talking about their plans to deport more people, build more immigrant holding facilities, and shutting the border down. When republicans started fear mongering about the “immigrant caravan”, democrats hopped right on board.

      Not even close to the same.

      No one is saying they were good. That’s the mistake so many people make about people who voted for Harris. Plenty of us didn’t do it because we liked Harris. We did it because we hated Trump.

      Over and over again, I said to people telling me not to vote for Harris, “which candidate should I vote for that has a legitimate chance of beating Donald Trump?” And I didn’t get an answer.

      Then, when Indiana finalized it’s ballot, there were four names on it and write-ins were not allowed: Harris, Trump, Kennedy and Oliver. Again, I asked who I should vote for multiple times. No answer. The closest I got was a very confused person who told me I shouldn’t vote for any of them as I did a process of elimination while simultaneously saying I shouldn’t abstain.

        Good lord you’re prolific on here. Im pretty sure youve argued with me against progressive parties before and all of this is extreme revisionism. But its too far buried.

          I’m not sure how that changes the fact that I asked and asked and I never got an answer for who I should vote for.

          Even now, you’re not saying who I should have voted for.

          That is not how anyone wins elections.

            I think you are completely lying. I was on here a lot promoting Stein, and getting extremely opposed by you and everyone else. Fuck off with this “i just wanted an answer” innocent BS

              I’m not lying at all.

              I literally could not vote for Stein. Did you not read what I wrote? Do I need to show you the Indiana ballot and prove it to you?

                Oh im well aware, of the democratic campaign against ballot access and write-in permission for the green party. And you are too, and I think you participated in it. You didnt just recently show up, youve been on here the whole election cycle. Before primaries, before these decisions were made, fighting against any alternative to democrats.

                  I didn’t fight anything.

                  Again, I asked over and over who I should vote for that had a good chance of beating Trump. That was my number one reason for voting.

                  I did not get an answer except one guy who said Cornell West, which is laughably wrong. I apparently didn’t ask you if you would have said Jill Stein because that has been laughably wrong multiple times now.

                  I can’t help it if people can’t get their act together and give me a name. I’m not going to pick one out of a hat.

                    Whoever you and everyone else say cant beat trump, cant beat Trump, because its an election you decide the outcome of. Unfortunately, people decided no one can beat trump.
