isn’t it obvious that voting for the “lesser evil” just inevitably trends towards the greater evil over time? .
What’s obvious is that multiple election cycles of non-participation lead to people who want the greater evil winning the vote more often.
It is not a successful strategy at mitigating harm
Counterpoint: literally any of the things that happened under Trump that Hillary almost certainly wouldn’t have done.
Like nominating three of the judges that overturned roe
We’ve been down that road before
What doesn’t happen is non-participation leading to the abolishion of America’s two party system.
Non-participation is simply letting the greater evil win.
They’re not suddenly going to ditch first past the post because of some protest voters/abstainers.
Making the rightmost party more viable does tend to do that
Hurl all the childish indults you want that won’t change the reality of the situation.
Them running isn’t going to result in anything but help further erase the left’s progress more than Trump already did post 2016.
It’s the unfortunate history of left leaning third parties in a fptp system.
Some of Hitler’s generals wanted to assassinate him, so it doesn’t even make sense from the loyalty angle Trump is going for.
That’s a wholly dishonest take and anyone paying attention would know better
You’re not meaningfully fighting genocide if you let the world backslide into even worse and more open genocidal ideology
Do you honestly think Donald Trump would somehow be LESS genocidal than Kamala Harris?
He literally said murder is a genetic predisposition.
See, this is the kind of thing you bring up during primaries not when the field has narrowed down such that the only other viable contender is worse.
Democrats winning means genocide becomes fully normalized forever,
Even more so if the guy who openly said murder is a genetic predisposition wins.
Who for the record is Donald J Trump.
Here’s a talking point for you, but from the Republican party’s policy platform:
DEPORT PRO-HAMAS RADICALS AND MAKE OUR COLLEGE CAMPUSES SAFE AND PATRIOTIC AGAIN
By “pro-Hamas” they mean all the free Palestine protestors.
If anything handing over the presidency to Trump would be incentive for Democrats to move further to the genocidal right.
Great so now we can have a more certain Trump presidency. Why limit yourself to just one genocide when you can have this guy in power here too:
“How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers, many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States. You know now a murder, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now,”
Flatworms don’t have have oil though
Homophobia and pedophilia, name a more iconic duo
It’s wild he is viable as a presidential candidate.
He’s either a potential world leader easily fooled by random people online OR one deliberately lying to incite racial violence.
It’s funny because America and the world are fucked now. Blame whoever you like that’s the situation
