If we can't be bothered to vote in the primaries, wjy would anyone believe us that a progressive candidate would somehow lure millions more to vote?

So because Kamela didn't change her stance on genocide, you now have Trump who has the exact same stance on genocide, and wants to start 8 wars and a civil war as well.

Congratulations, you played yourself.

Even a dentist that makes you gargle shit is better than the dentist that makes you gargle shit and shoots you in the head afterwards.

I sure as hell haven't played myself, considering I'm not an American!

But you've accidentally put it exactly right:

So because Kamela didn't change her stance on genocide, you now have Trump who has the exact same stance on genocide, and wants to start 8 wars and a civil war as well.

Yes, because Kamala didn't change her stance on genocide, you now have Trump who has the exact same stance on genocide, and wants to start 8 wars and a civil war as well.

One person had the chance to change it all, but it was more important to ensure that Gaza continues to be erased.

You could have convinced millions of people to vote, or to change their vote, and you'd still have to convince many more to change the result. Or you could convince one single person, and it would have changed the result. Which is more realistic?
