Hang on, you literally said:
You started this with caring about the opinion of Dick Cheney. Not supporting someone just because Dick Cheney supported them is still letting Dick Cheney dictate your politics.
So if Democrats are Right-wingers what are Republicans? "If you want to support Right-wingers have at it, I am instead going to support the even further right!"
Dems have shifted right and they are center right. There is no real left with power in this country. So I'm not going to vote for diet right-wingers. Unless Harris suddenly says she is changing course on genocide and walks back the endorsements of Dick Cheney.
No disagreement here
So given: "There is no real left with power in this country"
The outcome of the November election will be "Diet right-wing" or "Extreme right-wing".
For someone who is so anti-right-wing I am surprised at your unwillingness to do anything to prevent the extreme right wing from gaining power.
Do I wish the Democrats and Harris would do better? Absolutely. Do I think Republicans and Trump will do so much worse? Absolutely.
There is a trolley going down a track with 5 people tied to it. There's a lever that will slow the trolley down so it only runs over 2 people.
You: "I refuse to pull the level because that would be participating in the situation. If I do nothing more people will die but I can sleep happy knowing I didn't make that happen. I just did nothing to mitigate the damage."
Joe Biden is not running in this election.
There is a trolley going down a track with 5 people tied to it. There’s a lever that will slow the trolley down so it only runs over 2 people.
you: "If you're willing to pull the lever and let those two people die I hope you look at yourself in the mirror real hard. It's more morally pure to not engage with the situation and let all 5 die!"
Heads up, the person you’re responding to is a troll and got banned.
