    The way reality works is that you never get everything you want, and you often have to make the least bad choice available. Refusing to vote so you can maintain your own moral purity makes you the dumbass.

        Saying Harris was a bad candidate or that the Dems ran a bad campaign is objectively bullshit. When election day came she was second only to Obama in her rise in popularity, and doing it in only a few months is objectively amazing. But Trump’s win can’t be the fault of people who refused to vote for her because they focused on the Israel/Gaza issue and ignored every other fucking issue, can it? Naw, you were just being ethically pure. And how’d that work out for Palestinians? Really swooped in and saved the day there! I’m sure all the people getting deported would also want to thank you for being so ethical. Way to go! So would everybody who’s gonna die because they won’t be able to pay for their meds. And the ones who are losing their science jobs. And science itself - science is fucking STOKED that you have such pristine morals. Way to go!!!

        If you actually think I like Trump there’s no point even trying to talk to you. Sorry if any of these words are too big.
