A Harris presidency wouldn't be threatening nuclear action.

Sure they would. They'd just keep it out of the public eye. Otherwise, we'd dismantle all our nukes. Keeping them is a threat enough.

The entire system needs tossed. And if that's what you mean then say that.

I did, and I say that all the time. I'm openly an anarchist ๐Ÿด๐Ÿด๐Ÿด.

All this "Harris is the same" just promotes apathy at best, and derision between the left and liberals at worst at a time where unity is needed and doesn't even hint at "the system is broken".

Yes you absolutely should be apathetic to the circus of two-party politics. Of course we shouldn't be apathetic to the brutal realities of capitalism, but both parties already are, and following the "circus" at all directs attention away from the reality of capitalism because that's what it's designed to do.

And do not get me started on liberals and their derision. It literally does not matter how nice and flowery leftists make our ideas, liberals will always shit on them and side with the fash until they stop being liberals, because liberals are creatures of the right. So at some point, we gotta put our feet down and say "This is what we stand for, and if you're against that, you're against us." I'm willing to make "supporting one of the genocidaires is bad and should not be done" one of those things.
