I have no problem discussing politics, but under no circumstances will I ever willingly break bread with someone who voted for Trump. You want to talk about education reform? Economic policy? Foreign policy? No problem. But if you were dumb or hateful enough to vote for that shitstain, you’re dead to me.

What about Harris voters, who also support genocide?

I totally get not wanting to break bread with Nazis. But to sit with Harris supporters and not Trumpers projects more concern with vibes than actual policies and outcomes.

Most Harris voters are just anti-Trump voters.

They could have voted for someone who doesn’t support the Gazan genocide, but the moment they do, surprise surprise first-past-the-post two-party system strikes again, and their third party vote is counted in favour of Trump.

Good job third-party voters, you’ve successfully wasted a vote that could have been used strategically for the lesser of the two evils, so now you get the greater evil.

You’re thinking of ranked-choice voting. No third party votes were passed to Trump nor Harris.
