It’s not a binary choice. I can vote for a third party in the general or not vote for any candidate who will continue the genocide.

Aka “vote in a way that helps Trump.”

[-] gayhitler420@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

By that logic it’s a vote in a way that helps Biden as well and the two cancel out.

Not in a first past the post election.

[-] gayhitler420@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

That doesn’t make any sense.

I mean, there was an autocorrect mishap, but if you don’t know what first past the post means…

In the general it is indeed, unfortunately, a binary choice. If you could vote for Biden but do not, you have helped the explicit fascists. First past the post voting, babyyyyy

[-] gayhitler420@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

By that logic if I could vote for trump but do not, I have helped the democrats.

Of course, neither candidate is declared the winner by tallying up what third party votes or lack thereof ended up helping them, they’re declared the winner because of the votes cast explicitly for them.
