When given a choice between a millitary industrial neoliberal with a rainbow voting base and a fascist who is one elon musk golf session away from banning HRT, the best option is certainly not to refuse to play out of protest

Remember: the only people who say this want to see Trump win. You can vote with your conscience all you want, but it’s only mathematically possible for only one of two parties to get elected.

If third parties or independents actually wanted a shot, they’d put in the work outside of elections, building coalitions and locally from the ground up.

They are all so against it but have no problem voting for it. It’s disgusting really. And they have the nerve to try make me look like the bad guy in this thread. There’s a bunch of shitty people here.

You’re not a “bad guy.” You just refuse to accept reality. A fool is not a villain, but they can cause comparable damage.

That’s probably the dumbest take I have read yet. If I wanted trump to win, I would vote for him.

Your motivation doesn’t matter, only the result of your action.

Your motivation doesn’t matter, only the result of your action.

That’s a nihilistic argument. The result of human action is dying. If I had children, they will die one day regardless of what I do, regardless of what their other parent does, regardless of what their extended family does, regardless of what their teachers do, regardless of what society does.

And, yet, intentions matter. Someone voting third party because that’s what they believe in is not an immoral intention that destroys the universe.
