    You want them to keep voting for the lesser evil until eternity with both evils moving further to the right every election, got it?
    Nothing absurd there.

      Harm reduction is better than nothing. Yes, I fucking do, then I want them to vote for better people on a local level as they have the option to do. First reduce risk of further harm. Then treat the wound.

      It’s crazy that you would rather have a dictatorship than a centralist .

        Yeah, like you vote the mediocre and not fascist candidate and you can still protest. But if you vote (or don’t participate) the fascist one then you’ll not be able to protest and suddenly the genocide might be coming home.

          Why do you think things will get better. Not every dictator gets overthrown. Only around, 60%? Bad odds. Your cancer metaphor is apt because removing cancer often kills the patient.

          Finally some interesting things happening, and entertaining too.

          People die from facism. Many people. Are you a psychopath? How could you enjoy that?

          That is my pragmatic preference.

          That’s not even slightly pragmatic. It’s so far from pragmatic that I question if you even know what the definition means.

          Also, hella straw manning with the Political positions there

      Both parties keep moving to the right becuase voters keep rewarding right by wing behaviour. You get the politicians you vote for
