Fwiw I understand the game kamala is playing. She has to win the votes from the moderate right not from the liberals.

So what you're saying is, Democrats will only appeal to you if there's a chance you might not vote for them? Wow, I wonder if that logic can be applied anywhere else. Maybe, just maybe, leftists withholding votes from Democrats is the only way for electoral politics to actually "push them left?"

Sure, if the left ever builds enough power where they will be a voting bloc that needs to be catered to. Right now Stein is polling at 1% and leftists are getting absolutely nothing from the Dems despite this being an extremely tight election where 1% might actually matter. 

Unless you expand leftist thinking in America don't be surprised if Dems move even farther right even if they lose. Somehow grifters like Trump have more working class support than the left, it's bad out here. Pushing anyone left starts with the people not with electoralism.

Ok. I'm willing to take a bet that the anti-genocide left is bigger than you and Harris think. Its certainly bigger than "People who answered a poll to say they'd vote for Stein."

You're not going to get everywhere if you listen to corporate media and politicians telling you there's no hope, give up and support the options we give you. You push people left by consistently pushing a principled leftist message, not by saying "Oh well the revolution isn't coming tomorrow so I'll support genocidal liberals today"

By all means, vote for your preferred candidate and show the country the polls were massively wrong. You certainly don't need to support the Dems. 

If it doesn't pan out though I hope that's the call to organize and not fall into the trap of thinking next election will be different by virtue of just your vote in this one. It will only be different if people go out and make it different.
