You are implying that there is no one to vote for.

Not at all. You even quoted me saying someone, not anyone.

No one is blaming anyone for not voting for someone they don't like.

I guess I'm assuming they don't like either of the possible winners, I didn't think of the others, because they don't matter.

"You can't blame me; there's not something I want to vote for."

I've never seen that. Do you see it frequently? How many times this week?

All the Christians would hate him.

I've read that comment a few tims now. I genuinely can't follow what you're talking about.

Calm down. Come back, and try again.

Saying there's nothing to vote for is an excuse to be lazy.

Who said there's nothing to vote for?

Could be that they were shut out of the primary process, and wouldn't have chosen Harris.

Politicians do the things people ~~vote~~ donate for.

After that, they say things they think the people want to hear.

And blameing the public over not voting for somone they don't want to vote for, seems backwards. Politicians aren't entitled to any votes. They need to earn it.

You're still not internalizing or groking that everything he says is some kind of lie, and can't be taken literally.

There's no one con that'll get everyone.
But everyone can be gotten by at least one con.

If they're an idiot who doesn't know, they aren't a monster, but a victim of a con.
It's the people who DO know because they aren't idiot's, that are the monsters.

It might seem pedantic. But it really is an important distinction.

It took me a long time to figure this out.
Trump lies with every breath. Even his supporters don't believe the literal truth of his words. They instead replace the literal meaning of his words, with the more broad idea that he's talking about the thing they like, in a way other politicians don't. That nebulous ephemeral feeling is what they are voting for.

Of course they can't understand that, let alone express it coherently. Which is why all their reasons are such incoherent straw-grasping.

I could probably count the things that weren't mistakes on one hand.
