Yes, but also, the timing is always dangerous. Let’s removed about it all however much we want, but let’s not fall for the thought trap of growing disenfranchised from the voting process, however rigged it may be. Whatever argument you have against the system, we all have to admit that Trump winning the first time was not something even the establishment expected. If they can do surprises, so can we. Their biggest trick is to make you think your vote doesn’t matter when it so clearly does, even when the electoral college is stacked against it. The electoral college wouldn’t be so dearly protected if your vote didn’t matter. … Not that I’m saying you personally hold these views, but I’ve seen them around enough that I feel the need to voice my thoughts as well.

The timing is not dangerous at all. The democrats themselves dont believe that “now is not the time” bullshit. They hamstring and sabotage left-wing candidates any chance they get no matter the time and place. Since the people espousing that bs dont believe it, then there is absolutely no reason I should.

Stop referring to us as “we”, because “we” aren’t liberals. We’re not part of your base. We are communists. We don’t vote liberal and never will.

Since you knew Harris would not win without our votes last election, and you knew we wouldnt vote for her, then why did you? Thats basically the same as voting for Trump.
