      When it’s a first past the pole and electoral college game to get elected, discouraging votes for Harris necessarily helps Trump.

      Same as encouraging 3rd party voting in a system where they are mathematically prevented from winning.

      You either don’t understand the system we have, or you’re a disingenuous troll for Trump.

        Harris chose to do something immoral because “it was the law”, or it benefited her, or whatever - and you can expect her to continue doing that.

        You still have to vote for her, but you also have to be realistic about who you’re actually voting for.

        Republicans are the party who holds their candidates up without criticism - and Dems put up Kamala now exactly because Democrats were criticizing Biden - and even though she’s one of the worst candidates they’ve put up in years, she’s still far more electable than Biden.

        So yes. You need to both vote for and criticize Harris. It’s the least immoral choice.

        discouraging votes for Harris necessarily helps Trump.

        Please point out on the doll where I discouraged anyone voting.

        What you’re actually saying is that no one is allowed to criticize your favorite politicians. Which is totally unsurprising but disappointing nonetheless. This is the kind of whataboutism that has fueled our fucked up political system for centuries.
