i feel like the ones that dint vote, and voted for rfk or stein are republicans that dont are "embarrsed’ the other group is the totally “this has no effect on me now”
I guess they didn’t pay heed to what John Morley stated more than 100 years ago:
“Politics is a field where the choice lies constantly between two blunders.”
It’s not make-a-wish. Most of the time, you have to vote for the lesser evil.
Seems to me very likely that Harris would have been an above average president.
But sadly Americans chose the fascist psycho over Harris, because they didn’t think Harris was left wing enough, or that she didn’t support the Palestinians enough.
The logic being: I’d rather be killed by a fascist psycho than not be helped as much as I want by a way more moderate person, that isn’t actively supporting killing me.
the real reason is “sexism, and racism” even those that dont initially support voting republicans they have those biases in them, but arnt as flagrant about it, because of where they live is unacceptable. as a poc you can tell when people are changed thier body language over a POC vs a white person when interacting with them.

That’s too much logical thought.
Much closer to “woman not like me bad, man like me good” than anything else.
I admit I sometimes forget the sexist racist aspect, and I think you are right in that was a significant factor too. But it doesn’t make it less stupid I suppose as you hint at, it actually just makes it even more stupid.
My favorites are the ones who claimed they couldn’t vote for a genocide.
Now they have three genocides and two invasions.

Someone downvoted you for making sense.
Old NYC Mayor Ed Koch said it best.
“If you agree with me 51% of the time, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% of the time, see a psychiatrist.”
Especially when Harris, as VP, supported investigating Israel so they could shut down the rule forcing them to supply arms to Israel.
It’s my opinion that she only reversed course to get campaign donations. Looking at her voting history she was the closest to Sanders out of everyone.

I bet it’s true but it’s so stupid.
I’d rather lose my healthcare than vote for a woman. 🤣
I made a joke with my friends in 2024, back when Harris was announced to be the presidential candidate for the Democratic party
Turns out America chose fascism
Non-white and woman surely counted as well in some circles.

Don’t give them logic.
Saw a post denouncing Mamdani and AOC for not being pro-Palestinian enough.
They’d probably denounce Hamas for not being pro-Palestinian enough.
That’s not that hard of a position.
What’s your favorite Obama war?
