I'm saying that Harris or Trump will be the next POTUS and all you can do right now is express your preference on which one you want it to be.

If you're driving down the road and you come to a situation where you can either run over a person or hit a telephone pole then you have to decide what to do. You can gripe and moan about your situation and how you don't want to either one, but that doesn't change the reality. If you choose to not make a choice then the choice will be made for you and you'll have to live with the consequences.

you'll have to live with the consequences.

That's true of all decisions. You're advocating a single party autocracy. One whose opening policy is to support genocide. You'll have to live with the consequences of that decision too.

I'm not required to want either.

"Either some Ukrainian soldiers die, or Putin takes over Ukraine, that's the reality"...

"Oh! So you want Ukrainian soldiers to die!"

Being prepared to risk something is not the same as actively promoting that thing. This is not up for debate, it's a basic fact.
