Not op but I suppose ‘us’ is people with less privilege than those who could reliably survive in a Trump dictatorship. People for whom a Trump presidency is an existential threat.
Would you consider cop cities a threat? Or a president who openly and enthusiastically supports child genocide? What about a president who mocked the Defund movement on national television during the SOTU? What about a president who allowed Idaho to get away with criminalizing abortion? Or Georgia making it significantly harder to vote? What about a president who sees a $7 minimum wage in 2/3 of the US states and does nothing to change it?
I’m not arguing in Trump’s favor here. I fully grasp that he’s shitty too.
What I’m saying is if you want real change, it doesn’t make any sense to vote Democrat, especially for one like Kamala Harris, who hasn’t even put her policy proposals on her website.
I get that some people are willing to sacrifice others to achieve change. I’m not of that belief. If me personally sacrificing myself could lead to change it would be a much harder question to answer. But I’m definitely not willing to risk others on a protest vote.
