    She didn’t say anything wrong. There are issues with both sides, and one side can be worse than another. Vote for what you think it is right. I’m just glad she is really supportive toward causes like Gaza and helps, and won’t blindly endorse someone actively endorsed by Dick Cheney and courting republicans.

    Harris said she wants to earn support, so I don’t understand why her base flies into a rage if people are skeptical over her or can’t gloss over issues.

      As discussion, I’m not her base. But I argue about voting strategy with a Harris conclusion.

      I’m deeply unsatisfied with the democratic position on Gaza and beyond. But I’m in the anti trump base. I believe global well being, including in Gaza will be significantly worse if he gets a second term.

      I will vote for any competitive, viable candidate that is left of trump, the more left the better. I will not vote for an academic choice that has no chance of winning, and is only a spoiler. Without ejection reform, and something like proportional representation, I believe one should choose based on harm reduction, even if the choice is very unsavory.
