There was no third option. If you missed it this was an analogy for the election.

I know you see it as saving a parent, because for whatever contrived reason you cant save both, but letting one of your parents die instead of fighting for whats right is actually a pretty decent metaphor for voting for Harris.

Where your metaphor falls apart though is that Harris could have chosen to break with bad policies and forge her own way forward on the genocide and the economy, and she just didnt bother. No one ever had to die, and she didnt need to lose. All she had to do was try to do the right thing and be worthy of the office, and she didnt do that. So here we all are.

It's literally the analogy put forward by someone else that I was responding to.

Moving the goal posts and changing the question to invalidate my answer is pointless.

However you look at it she was better than trump. You've cut off your nose to spite your face and indeed here we all are.
