    You have a fundamental misunderstanding of how voting works, mechanically, in a FPTP system. You don’t vote for things. You vote against them.

    Once RCV takes hold (thank your local and state representatives) I’ll be right there beside you voting my conscience. Until then, that’s not a productive strategy. It does not achieve the intended goal.

    Lesser evil buys time. Vote for progressives on your state ballots. If there aren’t any, vote for progressives on your local ballots. If there aren’t any, run for local office as a progressive.

      You’ve been voting the lesser evil for 80 years, does it feel like it’s bought you time?

      I’m not voting for genocide, in voting against it, hence why I’m not voting for Dems or Reps.

        Sounds like you’re voting hard in favor of worse genocide. Either that or basic logic isn’t your strong suit and you’re doing it unknowingly

          “worse genocide” do you people actually read what you type?

          Say that out loud to yourself. That you are voting for less genocide instead of no genocide, and then tell me you’re still the good guy.

            I can use logic to defend my view much unlike yourself. Accelerationists are the fucking worst 🤮

              Let me know when you start doing that, then. I’m sure the Palestinians appreciate that they’re the only ones to be genocide by your direct choices, I’m sure they’re happy you voted for “less genocide” instead of no genocide.

        Unequivocally yes. Imagine if the right wing clinched power in 1944 and never lost traction. You think civil rights would be better?

        I’m not voting for genocide, in voting against it, hence why I’m not voting for Dems or Reps.

        What’s that accomplished in the last 80 years?
