    This is privilege. You are accepting that a trump second term will be “ok” for you. I know that because if it wasn’t going to be ok for you, you’d throw your vote to anyone who could possibly beat him in a few days.

    I’ve got people who won’t be ok. Minorities, LGBTQ, etc who are my friends, neighbors, or even just fellow citizens. They won’t be ok and I’ll do everything I can to help them avoid trump in this election.

    I’m not in love with harris’ platform but I’m not trying to get married, I’m just trying to keep my Muslim neighbor with a tough immigration situation, or my gay cousin out of trouble.

      I never accepted or advocated for Trump. I just said people should be demanding better. Saying the candidate you want to vote for is better than Trump is an incredibly low bar. That shouldn’t be the only argument to use to advocate for someone.

        I’ve been consistent in saying I don’t find Harris exciting or compelling. Low bar or not, it’s the challenge at hand.
