Because in a binary decision between bad and worse, there is still a preference. And when abstaining has historically favored the worse choice, doing nothing is bad.
Whatever they do, they are effectively helping Trump just as the article says. They should be ashamed of themselves. I know a few of them myself who voted for Jill Stein in 2016 because Hillary should be locked up because of her "emails" but a rapist and misogynist was no problem. All 3 of them have been unable to get work since 2018 since the economy was ruined by the idiot elected in with your help in 2016 that you might put in again by your protest "vote". I have no sympathy for my friends who voted for Stein in 2016 since they did this to themselves as I have no sympathy for you or anyone that doesn't vote Democrat in this election.
BTW - calling for a ceasefire is pro-genocide in your fantasy only
No one is saying Harris is perfect. We don't vote for perfect: we vote for better. Do you need a primer on evolution?
This both-sides/but-her-emails[sic] nonsense only resembles the Russian bot themes accidentally, right?
Did you just [sic] your own comment? Who are you quoting?
Does the democratic party hold no responsibility here in your eyes? It's obvious democrats understand the flaws of First past the post voting, longer then ive been alive!
So why hasn't the states they control switched to a voting system like Ranked Choice voting where there is no spoiler effect?
You don't get to harp on people voting outside the two party system and then do nothing to resolve the issues you bring up.
Not for anything Trump did. Why would they?
So Kamala Harris endorsed Trump for them?
It would seem so!
