    This is where I’m at, admittedly. I see no substantial action from any alternative group. I can’t be the change I want to see because I’m not a leader. So given the options I have to choose one of them. I finally get the “lesser evil” shit. I used to think it was a cynical slogan meant to get people used to the idea of supporting heinous crimes, which it is, but it is also a genuine sentiment that holds some weight. I was blind to that before. The way I see it now, no matter my choice, evil will come, so I might as well cast my ballot for the one that is a ostensibly less evil. So I’ll begrudgingly vote for Harris because the rhetoric coming from the republicans is fucking terrifying, and JD Vance especially makes me feel very nervous. He’s exactly the type of slimy opportunistic creep that should be kept as far away from power as possible. At least it’s not Biden or Shapiro. C’est la vie.
