The other option wants to kill you

Does that make discrimination acceptable to you or are you just doing a whataboutism?

[-] Rose@lemmy.zip 1 points 5 hours ago

Unless you're extremely naive, you recognize that no politician is perfect, but in a de facto two-party system like that of the US, not voting for the lesser evil is a vote for the worst. Acknowledging that is not saying that some discrimination is okay, but it's easier to ask for more protections and protest when you're not in a concentration camp.

Unless you're extremely naive, you recognize that no politician is perfect, but in a de facto two-party system like that of the US, voting for the lesser evil is still a vote for evil. Acknowledging that is not saying that some compromise isn't okay, but that it's easier to ask for a government that doesn't suck when the lesser evil can't assume it has your support and must service your needs rather than those of campaign financiers in order to remain relevant.

So what's your approach to politics? If you choose not to vote at all, and voting for someone outside the two parties is practically the same as that in the US, how do you effect change? If you protest as a means of that, who's your target or audience? Is it the same politicians? Is it the people who would then have to choose between the same politicians?
