    If someone though Harris is far left then that person wasn’t gonna vote for her anyways. Just as if someone didn’t vote for Trump “because Harris said he is far right”.

      Ok, but what are you doing to resist the genocide in palestine? Just laughing at those who care? Posting memes crying about blowing an election? Typical lib.
