Again, not wrong about the criticism of the Democrats, just what harm reduction is. Putting incompetent, weak-willed centrists in power over literal fascists is practically the definition of harm reduction. Again, that's doesn't mean I think Democrats are good. Amputation is better than dying of gangrene, but that doesn't mean I think having your arm cut off is good.
(Also, yeah, Democrats wouldn't let Israel annex the West Bank. That's why Israeli politicians didn't start talking openly about full annexation until Trump won. Democrats did allow illegal settlements to slowly take portions of the West Bank with little pushback, and that's fucking despicable, but again, full annexation vs. illegal settlements is a perfect example of harm reduction.)
The weak democrats that are going to roll over and hand the fascists power? Those democrats?
No. Im good with my vote, sorry it’s so offensive to liberal sensibilities.
Again, I don't find your vote offensive. My original comment in this thread was making fun of the guy who was offended by your vote. All I said is that I think voting for Harris was an act of harm reduction, but I understood why so many people couldn't vote for a candidate who was supporting a genocide. Then, I explained what harm reduction was. Twice. Now, seriously, go slap that English teacher.
