    Voting should be about advocating for the future we want, not settling for what feels safe or easy.

    And the future that you want is one where trump wins the presidency. Otherwise you would act differently.

    Now, if a trump presidency won’t affect you that much, makes sense. I get that. I personally won’t be harmed. But, I know others will be. So this is important.

    Still waiting for an explanation of why the analogy doesn’t hold up rather than just “I DON’T LIKE IT!”

      No, if I wanted to vote for Trump, I’d vote for Trump.

      But I’m not voting for Trump.

      I’m also not voting for your candidate. I don’t care how mad you get, how bullying you get, how much you call me a Trumper or a russian, or a troll or spin analogies, etc.

      I’m not voting for your candidate. I’ve explained why. You don’t like that. Ok, well that’s fine.

      This conversation is done. I’ve explained my viewpoints several times. You just don’t like it. Then you turn around and say that I am acting like “I JUST DON’T LIKE IT!”

      Nothing you have said has changed my mind.

      Me, and many of my friends, are not voting for Harris. Accept it. Move on. You haven’t changed my mind at all.

      In fact, speaking with you has made me more determined than ever to not vote for Harris. So good job, friend!

        It’s a revealed preference. And your preference is to help trump, which is absolutely your right. As is enjoying ice cream while a child runs into traffic.

        I haven’t bullied you, called a stooge, russian, troll or anything of the sort. I have called your simplistic and nonsense opinion childish which seems appropriate.

        I haven’t “spun” an analogy (how would one even do that?) Though you seem to realize how accurate it is as you’ve refused to articulate why it doesn’t apply other than that it highlights the moral abdication of your choices.

        The folks who fought for democracy probably wanted even more progressive candidates but, thank heavens they, unlike you, realized the importance and consequence of their votes.

              Nah, if I wanted to vote for Trump, I’d just vote for Trump. I’m actually voting for Jill Stein.

              And you totally respect and support my right to vote for who I want, just like I support and respect your rights to vote for who you want, right? Right?
