I see it the other way around. Respect can be lost.

Treating people with respect is my standard setting. I may stop that if they lose my respect.

This is why he doesn’t trust it I guess

criticized for not wearing a suit

Sometimes I don’t understand people. I’d love to see more politicians in normal clothes. It’s kind of childish to expect a suit for no reason, isn’t it?

Is that really a good thing for the animals though? Instead of being killed right away, they will suffer a short miserable life, then be killed.

Harris and Biden are conservatives. No the conditions didn’t improve. But they sure as hell will deteriorate under Trump. Poor people, LGBT folk, women will all suffer greatly. And none of it has anything at all to do with the suffering in Palestine.

You’re not listening to me. In politics, there’s rarely “stopping the evil”. It’s not an all or nothing situation.

You act like there is no difference in outcome whether democrats or republicans win elections. You must either be very privileged or very ignorant.

And yet you didn’t fucking stop anything. The only way for you to improve anything was to vote for the lesser evil. Even in a more functional democracy with proportional voting, there is always only the lesser evil. The perfect choice doesn’t exist in societies as large as ours are.

If the options are evil and lesser evil, you are morally obligated to choose lesser evil. There is no neutral stance. If you didn’t vote for the democrats, you strengthened the republicans. Don’t call people morally bankrupt when you don’t know what you’re talking about. The US will regress into autocracy and people like you are partially responsible.
