Not all the people who didn't vote for Harris are Trump supporters; there are a lot of leftists and progressives who believe that they can't survive any more late-stage capitalism. They recognize that the only peaceful chance to stop the wealthiest 1% from ruling is to stop electing them and stop electing the people who are bought by them.
Corporate democrats are better on certain social issues but they'll still put wealth over people, and they'll never move left. It's why we have the cruel health system we have today. It's why the banks got bailed out and never got regulated. It's why the Digital Millennium Copyright Act passed. Heck, 81 Congressional house democrats just voted for a military spending bill that denies medical care to trans kids.
Kamala Harris is a corporate democrat.
And like I told the person before you, she lost so you got what you wanted. Enjoy the fascism and the genocides.
I actually voted both third party and for Harris, so maybe don't assume you know how people voted or what they want.
You voted twice?
I have ranked choice voting. 🙂 I even had to vote for it three times for my damn state government to recognize the will of the voters and implement it. Currently I think only Alaska and Maine have it. I really hope other states push for it, but judging by the last election cycle where several states voted against it, it's not looking good.
This is part of the terrible fallout of people not voting; people across several states stayed home when they literally could have voted for a better system of voting. It's crazymaking.
