I mean it does doesn't it? Trump supports can also threaten not to vote for him if he continues bad policies.
But we are talking about Harris supporters here. If Americans don't even have a real vote with real value then what would stop Harris or Trump policies that will eventually render everyone in Gaza dead? If you can't even speak to politicians with your own vote and if they don't even value your vote, then how are we going to achieve anything?
Harris is the one losing votes for her shitty policy. It's not the fault of the voter. It's the fault of the candidate.
You're absolutely right, in an ideal situation.
But as you also said, "we are talking about Harris supporters here", so my original comment is kind of irrelevant to the topic of the post, probably. I'll stand down in this context. 😁
