    You’re responsible for the people or the policies you voted for.

    If you didn’t vote, you’re responsible for the bad people and bad policies you didn’t vote against.

    If you voted for a bad person or a bad policy, you’re responsible for the bad people and the bad policies.

    In my state Kamala Harris won by a landslide, which I knew would happen. There was no viable third candidate, and Trump would have been even worse, as we’ve clearly seen.

    When there’s no ideal people or ideal policies, voting for the least harm is the only ethical choice left.

    Abstaining from voting because the only choices are an evil guy or a less evil guy, is like abstaining from using your super powers to stop bad guys because there’s just gonna be more bad guys.

    Your objection to Democrats supporting the IDF has led you to be complicit in the dismantling of USAID and the killing of millions of elderly and sick Americans who relied on Medicaid, and the doubling down on climate destroying industries, and the destabilization of global politics, and the exacerbation of wealth inequality to an even greater degree at an even faster rate, and the destruction of tens of thousands of immigrant families’ lives, etc etc
