In a two-party FTTP system, we really have no choice. Not voting for the “lesser evil” benefits the “greater evil,” every time.
Honestly the dems have been so worthless that I dont care about them anymore. There hasnt been a real primary in almost 2 decades. They are probably gonna loose again anyways since they hate winning
Pelosi winning over AOC put the nail in the coffin. It there’s a new left party I’ll be voting for them.
Fixed
That’s absolutely not the long term effect of voting for the lesser evil.
That’s the effect of more people voting for the greater evil.
…and here’s the short term effects of failing to resist the greater evil:
Voter apathy just handed us another 4 years of Trump. The lesser evil is looking pretty fucking good right now.
The Left is looking as good as it always did. Look there instead.
You have to go back regardless so why push for an earlier stop?
Because it’s a two party system and voting third party isn’t how you change that.
Good luck explaining electoral politics to accelerationists, their political philosophy relies on not understanding that their methods only ever lead to more and more pain. The whole point is to make things intolerable to the point of revolution. Which would be very bloody in this country.
You’re right things are so peaceful in America today. Children aren’t getting shot in schools, black people aren’t getting beaten to death, millions aren’t dying from poverty or preventable health issues, etc.
This is like arguing killing a ceo is immoral because it’s violent while letting slide the people they kill through policy.

And letting the greater evil win sure helps all of those issues, doesn’t it?
The greater evil always wins when you vote the lesser evil, can you not see the diagram in OPs post?
voting
third partyisn’t how you changethatanything.FTFY
This is precisely the kind of apathy to civic duty that won 4 more years of Trump (but this time with house, Senate and a stacked Scotus!).
The thing with voting rights is you have to use it or you lose it. Pray you don’t lose it between now and the next one.
No, this is the long term effect of voting for “eLeCtAbLe” politicians in primaries. Putting a centrist in the general to run against the right in hopes of pulling voters from the right DOES NOT FUCKING WORK. Can we please finally accept that and move on?

Which is why the DNC keeps doing it. They’d rather hand the country to fascists than let a leftist into office. Hence OP’s post.
Don’t say that without proposing a better solution.
Are you suggesting that a feeling of moral superiority while things get worse isn’t a better solution???
