    Thinking about not voting? Why don’t you think about those crazies that are absolutely going to vote.

    Do you want those people in charge of your future?

      If I was on the left and leaning to not voting because of gripes with Harris on one single issue… I’d certainly rather be dealing with holding accountable the Harris administration over a Trump administration over the next 4 years.

      That’s leaving aside the fact that it’s always easier to break something than maintain or build upon it.

      I’d certainly trade one issue where there may be a constant on (there isn’t) for wins on a range of other important issues, as well.

        It’s very important to pick the best of the available options rather than throw your vote away. Nice work!

        We have an extremely flawed system. But, a person gives up the potential to do good if they simply give up on voting entirely or vote for candidates that aren’t viable.
