edit: i’m confused, are people upset that they aren’t being given permission to blame the voters they’re abusing into voting against their conscious?
what I am saying is very similar to what leaders of the “Uncommitted” initiative have themselves said, by publicly refusing to “endorse Harris” but declaring that their movement “opposes a Donald Trump presidency, and urging supporters “to vote against him and avoid third-party candidates that can inadvertently boost his changes.”
What a strange world we live in that we’re acknowledging the legitimacy of voters’ concern over genocide, but pleading with them to privately support a candidate anyway
I hope that, given this acknowledgment, we don’t still end up blaming those voters for a loss or interpreting a win as a popular mandate since we’re now at a point where public opposition cannot be assumed to be aligned with how one votes.
If Harris loses, it will now be in spite of undecided voters being made to swallow their moral principles - and if she wins, it will be in spite of her support of Israel’s genocide.
