    Well one of those evils is going to control you and everyone else one way or another so yes it is unreasonable to not vote for damage mitigation.

      Hence why I said that wasn’t the only factor in determining my vote.

      The question is though, where will it end? I’m 51 years old and ever since I have been able to vote the choices have been between a shit bag, and an even worse shit bag.

      At some point we have to put pressure on the DNC to put up someone who is actually woth voting for, and if they know we will always vote for the lesser evil, what incentive do they have to change their strategy?

      Harris was already a Republican in all but name and she only looked good compared to Hitler 2.0, if this trend continues the only “choice” will be between a far right fascist, and an extremely far right fascist.

        It will never end. It has been this way since we walked rivers and fought with sticks and it’ll be this way until the last black holes evaporate. You’re 51 and still haven’t learned this. Are you even paying attention at this point.

          Well I’m not sure what your point is then. Just keep voting the lesser evil until one day you find yourself in the voting booth gleefully voting for Hitler 3.0 because at least they are marginally better than Hitler 4.0?

          Just hang your head and cry about it and do the bare minimum you can do to mitigate the damage?

          I’d rather at least try to fight for something better. Even if it doesn’t work out it’s better than just capitulating and being all but complicit in the system that is actively making our lives worse.
