Not really, but it was enough of a bar to clear to vote for her last year

I would rather have had Harris over Trump I can’t believe we’re still debating this almost a year later now that we’ve seen what Trump’s done. Trump’s no better on Gaza neither

If the choice was, say, Harris or Bernie Sanders, then that’s a different convo

Trump is more transparently bad. The optics are worse. That’s the main difference. At least this way I don’t have to listen to libs tell me she’s “still working” on her campaign promises lmao

If she was elected she would absolutely be working on her campaign promises b/c that’s what presidents should do after being elected

The only “good” thing about Trump is that he energizes Dems to vote for Dems - that’s pretty much it

Good; you can see the game. Conservatives generate dem votes. Dems block progress to the left (on purpose or by being ineffectual losers) and when the populus are dissatisfied, right wingers get voted in and start the cycle over. “The ratchet effect”

Orr the populus can just not vote in the right-wingers. I definitely want better from Dems too, but I’d prefer them over right-wingers all day everyday

Because of the optics. Nothing gets better.

We are trapped in a system in which you’re incentivized to vote for stagnation in the hopes that scraps of progress fall from the table of congress.

I mean I can’t do anything either way, I gotta vote for the least worst option and move on. I don’t even get emails from dems anyway
