Exactly how is allowing Trump a second term better?

Understanding why the Harris campaign's strategy of moving to the right to try to court Republican voters, instead of moving to the left with popular progressive policies, was a demonstrable failure is not an endorsement of Trump.

A trump term is significantly worse. It's straight up fascism. Which is why it's so frustrating how terrible Harris' Campaign was that she depressed voter turnout by like 14 million people. And for what? Instead of galvanizing support from everyone with a progressive platform, her neoliberal platform only accomplished normalizing right-wing disinformation like on immigration.

So we agree that the choices at the polls were bad and worse for Palestinians. I’m simply saying by not choosing bad, they ended up with worse.

I completely understand feeling sick over the decision, but did they really trust the rest of the US to make the right decision for them?
