    You shouldn’t have to vote for evil just because the other side is more evil. Dont get me wrong… I did and will again but I shouldn’t have to and I wont fault anyone for not. I have enough people to hate already.

      “Shouldn’t have to” in a just world, but we don’t live in a just world. Imagine advocating, for example, for the USSR to be abandoned to the Nazis, because the USSR was also a bunch of genocidal imperialist scumbags.

      Choosing the lesser evil is not morally optional if your choices are reduced to only evils.

      I don’t have the ‘luxury’ of feeling neutrally about people who’ve very quite possibly fucking killed me in the next few years.

              lol yeah too bad they lost and now we have a sitting republican president that is still helping to facilitate the expansion of Israel and genocide of Palestinians while also making everything else worse, too. Yup, it’s too bad that not voting for democrats means that something even worse happens!

              “What’s worse than genocide?” i hear you say.

              “Genocide plus all the other atrocities we get to face now”

              “There is no such thing as genocide light!!! Black and white!! Nuance doesn’t exist!”

              Shut your stupid fucking mouth. I have heard these arguments enough. You are actively supporting genocide in Palestine as well as domestic genocide within America, not to mention the fact that you are supporting economic hardship for people across the world.

              “At least I don’t support genocide-” Lol. Shut up. Yes, you do. Your actions, your inactions, the actions and inactions of the people you agree with, have lead to this situation.

              So sure. Say that I support genocide. Say the democrats support genocide. I don’t care what you have to say. You’re a spineless idiot, and the only way I’ll ever take you seriously is if you take an actually actionable step towards fixing the issue. But you never will. Instead, you’ll sit around on lemmy complaining about the lesser evil while the greater evil actively kills everyone around you.

              Fuck yourself.

      Grow up. It sucks to jave to choose the lessetlr evil but it is by definition better than the greater evil, and these people yoi don’t fault were6directly responsible for causing gje greater evil when they refused to make that choice. They have blood on their hands, and a lot of it.
