I literally give you evidence of a group not supporting Harris but also saying not to vote for Trump, third party, or abstain and you say there's no difference. What other option is there? I'm pretty confident that only leaves Harris, without officially endorsing her. Could you expand on what other options are left?

Stop sea-lioning.

There's plenty like this:

Right, they said they weren't endorsing Harris while also endorsing Harris. It's standard liberal doublethink, y'all think if you play around fancy enough with words, it can allow you to take both positions and avoid having to make difficult or controversial decisions. But it's just rhetoric, semantics, and equivocation. Nobody, least of all anyone in a position of power, gives a shit about whether you use the word "endorse" or not so long as you do everything that an endorsement entails, voting for them and telling other people to vote for them. It's a distinction without a difference.

Stop sea-lioning.

Sea-lioning isn't a real thing.

An open letter from 100 people is not an endorsement from a major Palestinian organization. Here's an open letter from Muslim leaders telling people to vote third party.

I'm done. You just ignore anything that doesn't conform to your beliefs and nothing will change your mind. You don't care you dies. You just want to feel superior to other people. I hope you become a better person in the future.

If "becoming a better person" means "refusing to draw a red line against genocide," then don't hold your breath. I'll always do that, I can promise you that. I would sooner die.
