Example comment
All the things you want is only possible with a Harris win. You want a better political system and stuff like ranked choice voting or viable third parties? Only happens with the Democrats in control. Nothing that you want will EVER happen with Republicans in control and a vote for a third party in this election does nothing but help Republicans.
If you're refusing to hold your nose and vote Harris because of some bs reason like 'she hasn't earned my vote' when the alternative is a demented fascist that supports stuff like monitoring womens' periods then you deserve all the vote shaming you get.
I've been seeing a lot of comments from libs with the exact phrase "hold your nose" lately, I'm not a politics messaging expert but you'd think maybe you wouldn't want to portray your chosen candidate as being total shit?
That phrase has most likely been doing the rounds on articles and now they're just repeating what they read.
But they want, actually. If Democrats promised something tangible, they would have to deliver it or look like lying shit. If they promise nothing, they wouldn't have to do anything.
That requires effort though
It's because "hold your nose" is a phrase used by "the people who make the hard decisions to get things done" and there's nothing the milquetoast liberal partisan loves feeling more than like they're one of "the people who make the hard decisions to get things done" except maybe being "in the room where it happens".
Never to have the blood and dirt on their own hands, though; that's for the poors, the browns, and the other assorted 'illegals' they glance down their noses at when they pass.
