I know you're getting the bear hug so I doubt you'll respond to me, but I think it's worth examining your assumptions if you have somehow reached a point where Harris cannot be held accountable for the actions of the administration she serves in, cannot be held responsible for her own rhetoric at the convention (in which she promised we would have the most lethal military in the world, with which she would "always" defend the apartheid entity), and cannot be faulted for not being more specific about what her policy on Gaza would be. You seem to have reached a position where voting for Harris is a moral obligation that has no attachment to anything she does, says she will do, or could theoretically do in the future.
Or at least I assume it's about voting, otherwise I don't know what you're doing here. You acknowledge that America's ruling class are traitors to the interests of humanity; Harris is part of our ruling class, she's undeniably part of the 'rich' you're talking about. While we here at hexbear don't call people slurs, you seem fine directing your anger at these nameless traitors but not at Harris for some reason. All we're doing is criticizing the class you are saying is bad, and the people who instinctively defend them.
It's literally the message of the tweet: Nobody is telling anyone not to vote, but liberals reflexively assume criticism of the ruling class is an argument for Trump.
