We con't have to "make adeal with the devil." It's just a good idea to know when to make a fight. Before a close election, and when your side doesn't have the power to make the promise come true, isn't a good time to pick the fight. Promising what you cannot deliver is a good way to piss off supporters.

Trump's supporters don't get pissed off when he doesn't deliver. Instead of pretending the people don't really want what they do want, Harris should go for what we want and hammer home that we need a clear majority in both houses to make it happen. Kamala will get my vote, reluctantly as the lesser of two evils like usual. You know what they say about doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting a different result. Am I an idiot or just the victim of a system without real choices.

I recall how many Germans went to great lengths to surrender to Allied forces at the end of WWII (instead of Soviets).

I do hope an overwhelming number of voters make a similar effort to prevent the far more catastrophic choice.

Allen Dulles was initially very concerned about the supposed "Werwolf" resistance force that would stay behind as Allies advanced through Germany, but was a bit amazed at the nothing-burger it turned out to be.

See https://militaryhistorynow.com/2015/10/23/the-fighting-werwolves-the-third-reichs-underground-army/

"...Although operations were sporadic at best, some Werwolf teams did carry out their orders. A band of teenaged trainees managed to murder the Allied appointed mayor of Aachen in March of 1945 shortly after the occupation of the town. Werwolves were also blamed for a number of random attacks over the spring.

As the war edged ever closer to its conclusion, Nazi propagandists continued to trumpet the resistance. Goebbels even established Radio Werwolf, which in between faux news reports of attacks, urged the German people to rise up against the Allies. However, most accounts of sabotage or assassination were wildly exaggerated, falsely attributed to the resistance movement, or completely fabricated. For example, the Werwolves were incorrectly credited with the murder of U.S. general Maurice Rose who was actually killed in action on the frontlines. Other incidents, like the June 5 blast at the Bremen headquarters, as well as a deadly explosion at an ammunition depot near the River Elbe on July 31, were attributed to pro-Nazi holdouts, although there is little evidence to support such claims.[3]

Despite the fact that no serious uprising ever emerged (Pr├╝tzmann himself committed suicide in May of 1945), the threat of one dogged the Allied occupiers constantly for weeks after the fall of Berlin. Still, British, French and American armies rounded up and detained tens of thousands of German soldiers and civilians they suspected of being insurgents and held many of them in appalling conditions. In the east, the Soviets summarily executed hundreds of young men it considered Werwolves and sent more than 10,000 to special camps. [4] Many never returned..."

It will be interesting to see if Trump supporters get similarly disinterested in risking their lives for such a foolish cause, or just simply not vote. Either way, I want every freedom and justice loving American to vote undeniably against the whole Project 2025, Agenda47, and Schedule F nonsense as possible.

You have to make promises even if the fight spans presidential terms.
