There are no ethical choices under first-past-the-post voting. We must instead make a decision that reduces the most harm.

      You can either choose to give a little support to the better part of our awful system in our awful world

      Or you can stay in your fantasy land where the 2 parties are absolutely identical and your Itty bitty push back is more effective

          I’ll be sure to save this for when my trans ass is thrown in a gulag by trump and I can show the immigrants in there with me that you thought everything would be same either way.

              Got a secret for you: The Democrats would run us over with a tank if it were politically convenient.

              And the fascists would do it gleefully, likely finding additional ways to incorporate cruelty and torture. Anti-electoralism is statistically indistinguishable from supporting the fascists or accelerationism. Accelerationism has no hard data showing that it actually works, only that it increases suffering.

            Biden doesn’t give 2 shits about trans rights…

            You genuinely think the old-ass catholic man cares (outside of expanding your future military drafts)?

              He isn’t trying to kill me. He opposes bans of our medical care. If trans rights ended up on his desk, I think he’d sign it. So yeah, I do like him a lot better than the other candidate who literally wants us dead. The difference is subtle but I would rather be alive and lightly supported instead of dead and hated
