Voting for the lesser evil is still an endorsement of evil.

I used to really struggle with this one. Becuase in my mind I wasn’t endorsing evil by voting lesser evil. I was voting for the difference.

What made me realize and change my mind on the subject was when I realized that for the politican I’m voting for I am NOT endorsing just the things that make them different from the other guy. They actually see it as an endorsement of everything they do. And therefor they see it as a reason to keep doing exactly what they’ve been doing.

It was me realizing that what I think my vote is for doesn’t materially matter.

I know stuff like this sounds obvious, but sometimes hearing it does actually help. It’s easy to get caught up in doing the “better” thing than doing what’s right.

Trump getting in wouldn’t be great, but if he does that’s on the democrats.

moral behaviour is when you ship billions in weapons to execute a genocide, while the people starve at home.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
