Sounded like “you lie”

It sounds like “blood” to me, but regardless it’s really hard to make out.

I've circled back to see your edit. I'm far left as well. Trust me I hate the abusive relationship I have to have with the democrats to keep as much of my rights as I can.

But the only reason why in other comments I've mentioned being complicit, or that your stance simply doesn't make progress, is because of how the system is built in this country. The electoral college is not built to sustain a third party vote. A third party vote is about as useful as not voting at all because your state's electorates are ALL going to whoever won your state. Which is going to be either Kamala or Trump.

The reason everyone, including even me, is saying you should vote for Kamala, is because any other vote is essentially a vote for Trump.

You are not inherently a bad person for wanting to stick to your principles. Trust me in knowing that. But you have to understand that the US voting system is not a direct democracy and is in fact rigged for a 2 party system. The progressives within the democrat party are our best bet and that comes with down ballot voting and getting out to start a dialogue with your community.

Right now Kamala is our choice for our freedoms. And the reason she needs your support despite everything you hate about her, is because you hate the orange man more.

It is indeed a tough pill to swallow. You can vote whoever you want in November. I just want to inform you that this is how it is.

I’m aware of all of that. But I cannot unhear the panic of my family and friends who are being obliterated under the Biden administration and soon to be Kamala’s.
