Actually no. Refusing to vote for a genocidal candidate, regardless of which side of the aisle or gender they are, is always a good choice. We are not free until we are all free. I demand my politicians not just be the lesser of two evils. I hope you can too. Cuz the drive to vote for a democratic candidate cuz they are not as evil is what got us here in the first place.
sometimes being an adult means doing distasteful things… both candidates supported genocide… 1 of the candidates also wasn’t racist, economically literate, determined to exterminate the poor, and destroy what little democracy you had
get the fuck over it… you have 2 bad choices and your lack of choice contributed to this
He had one bad choice and one meh choice. There was plenty of progressive legislation in Harris’ platform. These people didn’t get 100% of what they wanted and sat home like entitled children.
No, I didn’t vote for either. It was pretty easy to vote against Harris, while also voting against this. Maybe next time the Dems should run a candidate that at least pretends to care about what the voters want. That tends to help in elections.
If there is a next time, I will absolutely say to vote lesser evil again. Without a workable alternative, that is the option. I still see no workable alternative. Longshot third parties with ~1% polling are not a workable alternative. Vague revolution composed of ~1% of the population is not a workable alternative. When you have a plan, with reasonable chances of success, we can talk.
I would like you to say that you won’t vote lesser evil next time, since you believe the idea of a “next time” is laughable and are probably an honest person.

All of this I agree with. Unfortunately it won’t happen until all the neolibs are run out of the party.
But trying to pretend like you didn’t directly elect a dictator by “abstaining” is not only absurd, but ethically reprehensible. Much of life is about choosing between lesser evils and lesser pains. Letting the worst options win because a perfect one doesn’t (and cannot) exist makes you a deliberate, willing accomplice.
If you didn’t vote Harris, you voted for this.
Upvoting to counter the spineless cowards who enabled Nazi America.
“B-b-but, muh Marxist dialectic materialism requires that I vote ideologically and totally disregard all dissident opinions”
There have been no new Supreme Court nominees since the election, so even if Harris had won, it would not have changed this.
Hey we don’t know, maybe Harris would’ve expanded the Supreme Court!
Ok maybe we know.

how’s that working out for you?

“Next time”.
Good luck with that. Chump.
So you’ll never say lesser evil again, right? Since there won’t be a next time?

What’s your goal right now?
I would like you to say that you won’t vote lesser evil next time, since you believe the idea of a “next time” is laughable and are probably an honest person.
You’re going to have to connect the dots for me, I’m kind of stupid. Why would I do that?
Why not? It’s not like next time is going to happen, right?
I don’t see how one follows the other. Maybe you should make a diagram for me while I go fix a drink.
I would accept that in 2016. This time around you dipshits knew what the result of your apathy would be and did it anyway.
