          If you had the power to save only one life would you take it, or let them die because you don’t like your options?

          You aren’t as morally pure as you think. We have to do what we can with what we have.

          Now they’re all going to die.

          Let’s put this a different way. You were given the choice of saving only one of two children from a burning building, and actively chose to let both of them burn to death, because you couldn’t save both.

          Real superhero Karen energy, right there.

            That’s not how this works. That’s called “justification”. I voted for Kamala, BTW.

            I really do believe now that the Democrats are encouraging the worst, dumbest, insane opponents hoping that they’ll find one that will finally push people to vote Democrat EVEN THOUGH they offer nothing.

              Democrats have been neoliberals since the time of the first Clinton campaign. The milquetoast candidates are a direct result of that.

              If you voted, then I’ll recind the analogy towards you. The 15 million democratic voters in 2020 that stayed home for whatever reason in 2024, still did exactly what I just portrayed. They had a choice to make, and they made the choice to do nothing, because things aren’t perfect.

                And I believe that the extra 15M votes in 2020 were an outlier (probably because of COVID) and we can’t expect to see that kind of turnout again. Not unless something incredible happens.

                And Kamala was not incredible.
