You’re contradicting yourself.
You’re voting for Harris because you’ll vote for the Democratic candidate no matter what.
Republicans are going to vote for Trump because he’s on the Republican ticket, because they vote for the Republican no matter what.
But consider that there are independents who suspect there’s no difference between the two parties, and so they’re thinking about staying home or voting third party. Moves like this only convince them that there’s no reason to vote for Harris because all politicians are the same.
I don’t know enough about Portugal to argue with this. I know about French colonialism and the horrors they inflicted, and British colonialism and the horrors they inflicted, and those examples make me suspect that all colonialisms are going to produce the same horror.
But, I don’t know for sure. Haven’t read that history yet. I know there’s a lot of extremely violent racism in Brazil’s history, but that’s technically not Portugal so I can’t say for sure that reflects on Portugal itself.
Basically, I don’t know enough to argue about this 😅
(also pay no attention to that down vote you got - I promise it wasn’t me!)
