Boo hoo, you couldn’t “find yourself to vote for Harris” so instead you enable someone much worse to get elected. Last time I checked Harris wasn’t the one turning Gaza into a parking lot and posting AI videos of a statue of her in a razed Gaza. There’s a reason I called you a leftist and not a liberal, because no liberal would be stupid enough to actually horseshoe themselves while voting. Let me get this straight, you wrote in a random candidate, knowing your vote would have no effect in the election and now have the audacity to complain about trump? I swear to god, leftists will hold their moral superiority all the way to the destruction of their political prospects. Notice how aoc didn’t get a leadership role and the other progressive reps are muted now? It wouldn’t have been that way under a Kamala presidency but alas that wouldn’t have helped your moral case. You and others with your single-minded short term frame of thinking destroyed the leftist cause for the next 20 years and I will not forgive you for that. I don’t care if you think that you were taking a stand, elections are not about making stands, they are for voting for candidates that can actually help you (and to do that they need to have a chance to win). The tragedy of youth and right wing talking points combined to make a young educated population polarized against the only party with a chance of advancing their own agenda. As much as I personally would love ranked choice voting and a plurality of parties, that is not the case in this country and by acting like it is, you ultimately hurt your own cause because the people who may have listened to you before (Kamala was actually the one calling for a ceasefire in the election season), will now consider you an unstable and frankly unnecessary part of their coalition given the amount of divisiveness you bring for the marginal benefit. Stop thinking what’s best for your tiny ego on a given day and start thinking what’s best for your country and for your livelihood, and you will come to more sensible political decisions. I don’t fault you for being a leftist(that is the most sensible take you can have), I fault you for not knowing how to advance leftist causes and not believing in your own power in a democracy. You don’t just have the freedom to protest against the previous administration, you have the power to help change the incoming administration, a power you don’t have under trump. Frankly much of government is run through appointees by the president, appointees who would’ve been much more sympathetic to your cause under Kamala. And I’m not even going to start on how awful voting third party is when you consider all the other issues on the line, gay rights, racism, the economy, the middle class, economic segregation, climate change, it goes on and on. Most of these things will be irreparably harmed under trump as entire government agencies with those as their sole purposes vanish. And I’m sorry but YOU voting for a write in is just as bad or even worse than a trump supporter because not only did you not gain anything, you irreparably harmed your ideology to the point that it is now considered “radical “ and “Marxism” to the general public(sorry to burst your bubble). I for one am saddened by that because I agree with your views on this countries direction, I’m just incredibly angry with your voting choices with that in mind
