I am not sure I loved Kamala's stance on Palestine, but I thought that Trump's tariff policies were stupid, his anti-immigrant and anti-trans rhetoric was harmful, and virtually every single stupid thing that the Diablo cheater has done with DOGE (and said he would do before the election, to be clear) seemed short-sighted-at-best and malicious-at-worst. It can be difficult to tell since both Trump and Musk are supremely stupid people who depend on hubris to fail upwards their entire lives, but regardless it seemed pretty bad to me, and it seemed like the totality of it indicated that Kamala would have been fine.
Obviously there's nothing wrong with voting on a single issue, if you think Palestine is more important than all the stuff I listed then that's fair enough and I'm actually fine with people voting third party. The way I see it though, the only person who is going to do exactly what I want, politically speaking, is me, and I'm not running. No matter who I vote for, as a result, is going to inherently be a compromise on something. I have to vote for the person that I think will do the least amount of damage and/or try and prevent the person who is going to do the most from getting in power.
I felt like a vote for a candidate that had a shot at winning was better than one that didn't, even though I tend to actually be a bit closer-aligned with the green party.
