Nobody’s saying that voting for the just a tiny bit slightly less evil party is wrong and you shouldn’t do it.
I am, actually. Signing your name to greenlight internationally-recognized genocide in order to protect your own comfort - in other words, valuing your privilege above the actual lives of thousands of other human beings - is wrong and you shouldn’t do it.
If you’re told that’s the cost to save our nation, or to avoid having to fight a fascist government, or whatever other bullshit Blue MAGA wants to sell you, the correct and moral response is, “That price is too high and I refuse.”
I totally understand your sentiment and I believe a very interesting, as well as productive discussion can, and perhaps should, be made on this topic.
Of course, I have no doubts there are many people who’d completely agree with your stance. This was, however, not the main focus of the discussion, which is why I decided to leave it on the side.
