If it just takes longer to get the same outcome, is it really harm reduction?
Either way, I’m not telling anyone how to vote, as the calculus depends entirely on where you live. In swing states, sure, your vote or lack thereof could make a difference. In the states where most people actually live (red or blue), you should be allowed to vote third party without getting yelled at by libs.
Ultimately, if the candidates don’t want to meet the voters where they are (and for the majority of Dems, they are in favour of an arms embargo against Israel), it’s their fault if they lose, not because of individual voters or random guys posting on the internet.
If the option is 5 people dying every day or 10 people dying every day, yes harm reduction says we should limit the amount of people dying every day. That way we have more time to save the people.
I’m not a fucking lib, I’m a leftist, and I’m telling you that Trump is worse than the status quo. He only really started to fuck shit up towards the end of his presidency and that was because he only just realized he could change the rules and get rid of the bureaucracy that actually keeps our government limping along. Next time he, or anyone with an R next to their name, takes office they’re going to destroy anything of value left in our government so they can hoard the ashes. This will continue to be the reality of the situation until being a fascist is no longer politically viable.
Yes, it’s a hostage situation. Yes, it’s royally fucked, but the last 4 years has seen an incredible shift in both public support of good policy and politicians promoting good policy. There is a light, there is good coming of all this shit, it just requires your support for the good that’s happening, and your disdain to be pointed at the bad. Don’t point your disdain at the “not good enough” and shrug at the unbelievable bad. That’s how things get worse.
