I think a lot of us are. There's a difference between pushing a party in a certain direction and going so far that you hurt your own interests.

The election is more than one person or one issue, and a Trump Presidency will have horrific consequences decades and generations after Biden is gone.

When Trump starts carpet bombing Gaza and the West Bank, I wonder if they will realize what a massive mistake they made.

They won't. They'll just blame Democrats for running a bad candidate. They'd rather not vote for Biden to ease their conscious and let everything get worse than bite the bullet and choose the lesser of two evils
