There is no such thing as Democracy in the US system, and voting Kamala without agreeing with her would have nothing to do with "democratic action" - in that duopolist power structure at most voting Kamala as the "lesser evil" was short/mid-term risk reduction: understandable, but let's not call such a "you have no actual choice" action "democratic".
No argument here. Just wanted to give people outside the US a little more perspective. The lack of democratic action started with the Democratic party. They didn't even pretend to have a primary election. Ofc, most people I know won't participate in those anyway.
