voting isn't harm reduction

I’m not talking about drug harm reduction. I’m talking about the reduction of harm. Put another way, aiming to reduce the amount of harm your actions lead to.

well the good news is you can vote for anyone you actually want to take office, since only votes for bad people cause them to be elected.

That’s a nice platitude, but there are only two outcomes, no matter how much you might wish there was a third. Your options are to help, abstain, or hurt. Abstaining means you’d rather not help, so again, in my mind, you’re a moron.

Third party candidates are only viable when one of the major parties collapses, and the major parties only collapse when they consistently lose. So, if you actually want a viable third party, you should vote for the major party you dislike the least. Otherwise, you’re just perpetuating both.

voting for biden helps corporations and the war machine. it doesn't help stop fascism.

Trump is literally a fascist. A vote for Biden is a vote against fascism. You’ve got to be a troll.

biden is a fascist. calling me names doesn't change what biden has enabled for the last 50 years.

you should vote for the major party you dislike the least.

i don't need to choose either of them. neither is acceptable.
