I was also on the side of vote for Kamala fix it after because with Trump fixing is impossible with Kamala maybe. But whenever I see stuff like

45 Democrats Vote With GOP to Pass Bill Sanctioning ICC Over Netanyahu Warrant

Senate Overwhelmingly Rejects Sanders Resolutions to Block Arms Sales to Israel

it makes me doubt how feasible this approach would be too. Sure Kamala is factors of magnitude better than Trump for the USA, for Ukraine, for LGBTQ people, for women etc. But I can understand a US citizen with roots in the middle east etc not voting for Democrats after seeing disgusting stuff like this.

"PATRIOT Act" passed Senate 98 to 1. Partisanship is for complete morons.

45 out of 215 Democrats voted for that or around 21% vs 90% of Republicans. This means that the crazy option is wildly unpopular and would never pass under a democrat. I'm not seeing the problem here.

21% of Democratic voters voting for Republican candidates would be completely unacceptable. Why is it ok for 21% of our representatives to vote for genocide?

Oh right. It's ok when it's the only thing centrists actually want.

And "centrist" in the US really means far right.
