as a leftist I find that to be great in a system that allows third parties. the US doesn't, so the strategy should be to reduce harm. "can't support genocide" doesn't work as an excuse for an action that is guaranteed to make things worse. if the only two options are between 4 concentration camps and 14 concentration camps, you vote for the 4 concentration camps candidate. until you change the system, anything else is irresponsible.
I somewhat agree, as I did in fact vote for the dems myself. Lesser of two evils is a valid arguement. However alot of these people are not making that arguement. And even as a lesser of two evil situation, i cannot fault those who's morals prevent them from choosing any evil, especially one as large as genocide. But once again, that is unfortunately not the conversation alot of people take this in, Instead I'm arguing with people who are talking about "fixing their own back yard first" or "saving their ship".
But at the end of the day, I cannot blame the people who didn't vote. I cannot find fault with people who morally could not bring themselves to make that lesser evil argument to themselves and instead, ultimately, the fault lies with the left most party refusing to drop their genocidal bloodlust and instead chose to stand on it and lost for it. They make the plans, they make the campaign, and they blew it. Case closed.
