    I don’t get this meme.

    Do both, vote for the lesser evil and demand change by protesting. Those are not mutually exclusive concepts. You are definitely not going to get change by not voting, all you are doing is allowing the more evil to win and prevent you from protesting ever again.

        I said that.

        Biden can solely stop the arming of israel by declaring they are committing human rights violations which would prevent arms exports.

            You seem to be confused.

            What part of “not voting for a genocide supporter” are you having trouble understanding?

            Who is the current president right now, Donald Trump?

            Is Donald Trump going to stop Joe Biden being complicit in Genocide?

            And what you’re saying is not even true I have plenty criticized Republicans.

                Yes people that can see that Biden is the one complicit in Genocide.

                It’s like DNC voters have turned into the 2016 MAGA cult, purely voting for Biden no matter what he does.

                Biden is supposed to not be the Fascist Genocide guy.

      In their moral justification, the argument of the lesser evil has played a prominent role. If you are confronted with two evils, the argument runs, it is your duty to opt for the lesser one, whereas it is irresponsible to refuse to choose altogether. Its weakness has always been that those who choose the lesser evil forget quickly that they chose evil.

      There are two arguments I personally find persuasive. First, are you okay with having voted for a candidate that knowingly supported a genocide with words and with weapons (because it looks more and more like this is / will be the case). Second, what other leverage do you have over the Democratic party. Let them know that they can not win with such a historically shitty candidate, lick your wounds and try again next election.

      And if you think Trump is literally Hitler, please do some research and look up what happened after Germany voted for the lesser of two evils (Hindenburg).
