  • Harris chose to do something immoral because "it was the law", or it benefited her, or whatever - and you can expect her to continue doing that.

    You still have to vote for her, but you also have to be realistic about who you're actually voting for.

    Republicans are the party who holds their candidates up without criticism - and Dems put up Kamala now exactly because Democrats were criticizing Biden - and even though she's one of the worst candidates they've put up in years, she's still far more electable than Biden.

    So yes. You need to both vote for and criticize Harris. It's the least immoral choice.

  • This is also why you vote in the primary of the party with the candidates you like least.

    If you view any candidate in party A as better than every candidate in party B, you need to vote in party B's primary so the best candidate for you will make it to the general election. Then even if party A loses the general election you still get the candidate you like most from party B.

    This was a key strategy for black people in the south to get the least racist Democrats into office. It's basically ad hoc ranked choice voting and it reduces the power of extremists.

  • I have left-hand threaded fittings on a few things and always say to myself aloud "This is reverse-threaded" before I attempt to turn them then still fuck up first turn. It doesn't stop me from fucking it up the first time - it just helps me remember why.

    When I train new people on this equipment I tell them to say it aloud, show them, still fuck up the first turn, then they laugh.

    Then I have them do it in front of me including saying it aloud - and they fuck up the first turn...

    When you've been doing something unconsciously for decades it's really hard to break.
