      Yeah, such a weird way to title things, especially since I feel like she’s a big enough deal that the title is more dramatic with her actual name in it. Whereas just saying popstar makes it sound like it’s some nobody and they’re trying to fish for engagement

        The problem is the solution to not voting for the better option is to allow an obviously worse option to win. I don’t see the end game here. I can tell you for sure that if republicans consistantly lost the large majority of elections and lost control of all parts of government for a significant period. The dems would either split or a third party like the greens would take a significant number of seats. If the republicans win any better than that then dems will be the only left option that wins. Third party left or dems moving way left will never happen as long as we have a right like this winning so often. The fact they lose so often indicates that there are many that sometimes vote for them or don’t vote against them. Those folks are pretty much in charge of the country right now.

        So sick of hearing this strawman argument trotted out like it’s the bravest most epic gotcha every time someone isn’t in perfect agreement with arguments to have voted for Kamala. For people who don’t think both sides are the same, you sure do attack your own side a lot. Almost like you think that just because some left leaning people are at least better than the right, they still have problems that warrant criticism and aren’t exempt from those criticisms. Curious
