    Wrong. Dead fucking wrong. Due to our current shitty system the only parties with any chance of winning are Dems or GOP, every vote that doesn’t go to the Dems is another point the GOP has over them. If you don’t vote for Dems you’re facilitating fascism. Simple as.

    I don’t like our choices but we don’t have the option to be fucking picky right now, there’s fascists at the door and they’re working hard to ruin our lives.

      voting for Democrats facilitates fascism.

      voting for the lesser evil will only serve to guarantee that you will forever be voting for the lesser evil and that you will reach the same evil that the alternative raced towards, but slower.

        Thats really poetic but observe our choices in reality in relation to the systems we built to usher them in. You don’t cut your parachute just because you’re falling anyway.

        My god, what a stupid take.

        The lesser evil is by definition the better choice! If you refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils, you are effectively choosing the greater evil. It does not get any stupider than that.

          If you refuse to vote for the lesser of two evils,

          you are choosing not to vote for evil.

                In the trolley scenario, you chose to let 6 people die. Neither choice makes you a murderer. But one choice causes much more harm than the other.
