submitted 7 months ago by ToastedPlanet to c/196

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

Arguing against voting for Biden is a pro-genocide tactic because it increases the probability of more genocide. Anti-voting activism is an inviable strategy.

I genuinely will never understand the libs that vote for the "least fascist" option as if that's ever going to improve your life.

Maybe vote w/ your conscience instead of pushing further to the right than y'all already are?

Gotta change the voting system if you want to make it safe to vote for your favorite. Anything that satisfies no favorite betrayal would work. My favorite is Approval Voting but any of them would work.
