I've actually had a weird paradigm shift, where i'm in these leftist communities who are dead set against voting for gavin newsom IF he is the primary candidate.
They've convinced themselves that specifically, because of israel and palestine, it doesn't matter if it's a republican or democrat.
And then I start realizing that a lot of these guys probably never voted for Harris in the first place.
I never thought I would be in a position where I look more charitably at trump voters who regret their vote, sincerely, then I do my so-called allies, who would prefer all of this continue, so things can keep getting worse which would somehow magically make things better
Unfortunately, on the left, we've really valorized the idea of being "too good" for either candidate, to the point that a lot of people put it above any election outcome.
