Hey I'm voting for Harris, I just think its important to call out bad takes from anyone, including those who I vote for. I do it for my local and my federal offices. I email my republican congress members (they don't respond beyond the default robot reply) and I complain to my democratic senators.

Oh god; how many fucking times this has been explained.

  1. publically disparage imperfect non-conservative leadership candidate
  2. fewer people vote for that person because of the sea of over-advertised issues - which exist on every candidate but are associated with just the one
  3. fewer people voting - low voter turnout - has been shown many times to inordinately favour conservative candidates because of their strong loyalty uber-alles schtick
  4. conservative candidate wins
  5. 90% of people are worse off, and are sad, and all from 'calling out bad takes from anyone'.

Preserve the ability to protest. Then protest afterward if we still have the right.
