So you don’t like Trump or Harris – here’s why it’s still best to vote for one of them
So you don’t like Trump or Harris – here’s why it’s still best to vote for one of them
If you’re an unhappy voter and want other unhappy voters to hold their noses and vote for the major candidate they least dislike, think about the Golden Rule.
It has been said a gazillion times over the last few months, but is it getting through to those who need to hear it?
You're viewing a single thread.
If you vote for the lesser of two evils, you deserve to get the greater evil.
I think you did some math wrong somewhere.
There's a trolly going down a track with 5 people tied to it. You can pull a lever to slow the trolly down and it will only run over 1 person, or you can do nothing and it will run over all 5.
This guy: "Anyone who would pull the lever for the lesser evil of running over 1 person deserves the greater evil of running over all of them."
Except you could pull the 3rd party lever that kills no one, but because that lever dOeSnT hAvE a rEaLiStiC cHaNcE, you'd still pull the lever that killed a person.
More like the third lever is a lever that does absolutely nothing but comfort the person pulling with a dumb sign that says, "your moral purity is still intact", 5 people still die. Spoiler, your moral purity is not intact, you just lie to yourself that it is.
Or maybe you're the one coping because deep down you know if everyone stopped licking the boots of Democrats and Republicans, America wouldn't be in such a dangerous place.
One month before the election is not the time to be building a 3rd party. Why do I already know I won't hear a damn thing from 3rd party people come December, and they'll stay quiet until mid 2028?
That's so obviously false. Why did you think it would sound even remotely plausible?
