yawn absolutely false. You have other options. you're just too afraid to exercise them. That's a you issue, you are willing to put up with harris/biden committing genocide and breaking strikes because you're scared of trump. I'm not. and yes, I'm aware of the mathematics behind FTFP. sadly fortunately they dont apply in my state.

  1. write to your congress critters telling them to support weapon bans and to push harris. I've done this have you?
  2. ensure your local government is well populated with non-maga's. I've done this have you?

You're controlled by fear. I'm not. My state is well insulated from trump and SCOTUS. If democrats and harris want to win they need to enforce the leahy act at a minimum. If harris wants to be the law and order candidate then she needs to move on these issues. she won't sadly but thats a her problem, not a me problem.

You also clearly dont understand 'both sides' critique. there are clear differences between the candidates. harris is clearly superior. she just isn't superior enough to overlook committing genocide and breaking strikes. for you she clearly is. that is a you issue.

Saving this comment for later to come back and say I told you so after either the Dem or Rep nominee wins the presidency.

I mean thats a you goal. I have no issue with harris winning she just wont get my support until she commits to enforcing leahy or keeping kahn. Which the biden/harris admin blinked yesterday on israel. Give it a few more days maybe send your own letter in support of arms embargo to your reps and help get them to do the right thing eh?
