"I don't think..."

Edit: Convincing yourself Harris is a good person isn't tactical voting.

i know what strategic voting is, genius. where did pretending anyone is a good person or whatever that fever dream of yours come from is what I'm asking

When you suggested that Harris wasn't being opportunistic during the largest & most sustained anti police protest in US history.

who gives a shit? i care what people do, not why. you go look into their hearts and judge them against a feather, and I'll look at what they do in their political careers.

That's the thing, saying isn't doing. Politicians constantly say things & don't follow through or they do it in a way that sounds good in headlines without making a subsistent difference & Harris has a history of doing fucked up things like denying trans prisoners affirming care, denying parol to hundred of prisoners who had volunteered to fight wild fires literally because she wanted to continue to use them, & the two different times Harris hid evidence that the person she was trying to get the death penalty for was innocent. ACAB applies to her just as much as any cop.

first of all, i don't give a shit if the alternative is fascism.

second of all, "saying isn't doing", her "doing" record is better than most democrats

Yes like a typical neo liberal you don't give a fuck about trans people or criminal justice reform.

lol yeah, i forgot the criminal justice reform and trans rights that will get implemented first day under a republican president.
