As a US citizen, yes my country sucks. It has sucked before and it’s sucking just about as hard as it has since the trail of tears. I am embarrassed by my nation’s leaders abetting genocide, defunding aid programs, putting people who live here in prison for the crime of existing, refusing to tax the rich or corporations, etc etc.
But there are a shit ton of us that aren’t like that. We have a totally fucked election system, a flawed and vague constitution, and fascists in every branch of government.
It’s really not all of us, I swear, and not by a long shot.
That’s stupid, of course it isn’t. But the whole point of posts like this one is try to shame people for voting or not voting. These are the types of people who expect appeasement. MAGA isn’t the only thing our political landscape that wants appeasement. Either way, this type of thing never works. People like OP will never be pleased no matter what. People don’t vote to appease others nor should they. Everybody wants to minimize harm, but what that means is something that’s entirely subjective.
I see my point is being proven already
Your point is amplifying troll messaging and rolling over to defeatism. It’s about as weak as discourse gets.

Your “proof” is that there isn’t a position that will win approval with everyone?

It’s literally what you are doing, and the best you can counter with is with pre-school sandbox logic?

Because the only imaginable positive outcome is appeasing everyone of course.
How about trying to minimize harm to as many people as possible?

It’s not subjective. That’s an obvious lie. Everyone is being harmed more under Trump than they would be under Harris.
