I hate Kamala, I think she's a terrible candidate and don't disagree that she would've just bought us more time. But it's easier to fight back with a persistent cold than with supertuberculosis.
Because Trump got elected, my partner and I uprooted our lives, said goodbye to a massive community of people, gave up multiple career prospects, and moved to another country. I'm a trans latina immigrant in a gay relationship, so enemy of the state #1. The battle isn't over either as we're now dealing with immigration. I'm not legally allowed to work so I'm just living off savings right now, and effectively starting from 0. I still worry about my friends back home, many of which are also trans immigrants but who lack the opportunity to move, who are now scrambling to stockpile meds and fighting daily to continue living. I've had to talk friends down from suicide. I have never cried as much as I have in the last year. And I'm just one person.
So thank you for that, your direct lack of action contributed to it. I hope your horse was worth the blood on your hands. You're no better than the other centrists eager to throw us under the bus while calling it "progress"

It was, you're welcome. Now go be selfish somewhere else Edit: (If its not obvious, I don't mean this, but figured I'd show you what its like for someone to disregard 90% of your post and call you selfish when you explicitly made an argument for why you're not) You can insult me all you want, but I listed out plenty of reasons for why *you're* the one sacrificing others in order to sit on your high horse of having voted for Kamala. But you fall back to insults because you can't actually address my points. You are selfishly choosing the well-being of your immediate social group over millions of people in the present and future.
