    well put and one more thing:

    People in the US need to do the same … If you vote for a third party and Trump gets in then your conscience is clear and a message has been sent.

    the SNP is an example of why both democrats and republicans fight 3rd parties from gaining a foothold on the voting ballots using things like peer pressure; friendly judges to pass down rulings against 3rd parties on ballots; and voter suppression.

    your vote matters and it’s most effective if you don’t do it the way they want you to; the lesser evil is still evil.

        Kamala’s not promising anything, let alone horeshit, so my prediction is sadly a Trump win.

        only american liberals believe she’s going to win; but even then it’s clear that most of them can feel the anxiety about her projected loss and; to be fair; she does have a decent chance at winning if the polls are as wrong as they were in 2016.

        given that they figured out the disconnects since then and 2020’s polls were spot on; i hope that the sense of mutual aid is as strong now as it was back in the 1980’s during the last our government did little more than a public show of support while idly allowing people to die by the thousands during the hiv/aids scare.
