A vote for Harris is a vote for Trump. Sounds like a trolling attempt but let's evaluate: Obama came to power with a lot of promises that he later broke, left behind as the president who: - Deported the most immigrants - Did the most drone-bombing - Bailed out big banks Resulting in the rise of the anti-establishment right, represented by Trump. Trump's expectedly awful term brought back Dems who installed yet another establishment president. Biden did an even worse job than Obama, now further solidifying the alt-right camp. He was losing at double digits against Trump. Dems were lucky about the early debate appearance, and Harris "looked like" a change again. But mind-blowingly, Harris positioned herself close to Biden, or even further to his right. She wiped out her massive lead, now slightly trailing Trump in national polls. Trump now is bad. Trump or his replacement in 2028 will be even worse if Dems continue appealing only to the elite and feed the anti-establishment narrative.

It is pure trolling, let's be real. I think the underlying idea here is, how to break a monopoly on the access to power, which right now is owned by the dems and the reps. It's very difficult, but it can happen. With a different political color, it happened in 2017 in France when Macron broke this monopoly that had been running for hundreds of years between the traditional left and right parties. imo, this can only happen with a "messiah" type of candidate. This candidate needs to have an aura so strong, and arrive at such a perfect moment, that it becomes obvious to everyone that he's the one people need to vote for to make this change happen. Until such a candidate shows up, voting for 3rd party candidate is pretty much useless imo, unless you believe someone like Jill Stein is the type of candidate I described above. (I have zero opinion about that btw) In the US, a young liberal entrepreneur, pro-environment and slightly socialist (not too much or you lose the moderate reps) could be that guy.
