    It’s still not a strawman argument that people who were posting all over Lemmy that no one should vote for Biden are now posting in this very thread that people shouldn’t vote for Harris either.

    Also, I’m not trying to get people who aren’t planning on voting for Harris to campaign for Harris. That would be silly. So I have no problem with anything that I said.

      In the countless posts leading up to Biden dropping out, people were saying the same thing about Harris then too. Trading one bad candidate for another isn’t what anybody asked for, so you’ll have to explain how these people you speak of should now be satisfied and stop sounding the alarm.

      It seems there are too many people who would rather kowtow to the DNC leadership’s desires than actually prevent Trump from getting elected again after the DNC failed us in the exact same way in 2016 and nearly again in 2020. What will it take for them to wake up? People demand unity within the party, but for some inexplicable reason, they always demand that we unite around their unlikable right-wing candidate.

        It seems to me that the way to actually prevent Trump from getting elected again is to vote for his opponent and not to keep telling people not to do that for whatever reason.
