Still it is utterly obnoxious when someone seems to act all high and mighty that they didn't vote for the lesser of two evils.

I'm still looking for the point that anybody did this? Are Kamala voters not allowed to criticize her platform and point out that there was no good option for the working class? What's obnoxious to me is putting Kamala up on a pedestal next to Al Gore despite the absolutely pitiful losing campaign she ran. Her loss was obvious to anyone honestly paying attention. There was so much more she could have offered to the people if she really wanted to win, but instead her campaign chose to use Trump as a bludgeon against anyone left of center in the American working class.

Are we really more upset at the third party voters that voted their conscience, and resisted the coercive campaign practices, than the million-dollar campaign itself that utterly failed to appeal both to them and to non-voters on its own merits? Are we really eating up this slop right now? Harris was not owed any votes, it was up to her campaign to earn them. This is a time that we need to come together as a people and struggle outside of the electoralist system, but so many of us are too busy pointing fingers at people who are just as powerless as them, for all the reasons this country sucks right now. Really??? Can this energy not be used more productively???

The election is over, let's move on now and stop idolizing these traitors. This is not a person that deserves to be defended like this. She has made it clear that she doesn't give a fuck about us, she cannot be moved an inch even to win an election and her donors come before anyone else in the country. We need a system that works for us, and we need to get it through our domes that the ruling class is not going to put that on a fucking ballot.
