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.
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.
…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?
So I guess the best move is just to let the greater evil win anyway, right? After all, if the greater evil wins no matter what you choose, you have no moral culpability for your shitty choices and can continue to spread damaging ideologies without all that pesky guilt.
I’ve heard this song and dance before, and your lazy tautology tells me you haven’t put much thought into your position. Or, at least not one that shows any humanity for those around you.
Accelerationism is for gormless stooges who support mass suffering and evil winning.
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.
Fixed
Oh! Suddenly I’m not wrong for not voting because it was a choice between evil and evil? Very weird how that works out. I told you motherfuckers from the get-go, but yall didn’t want to listen
Downvote all you want. The choices are a farse, and the majority fell for it hook, line, and sinker
not voting at all is worse than voting evil or lesser evil
disagree
thats why you are part of the problem, and not the solution.
Disagree
This is absolutely correct. Not voting shows that one is completely fine with either/any candidate- and are willing to trust that everyone else will do the right thing for them.
Regardless of were or not this is what they actually think, this is the result.
No, you’re still very much wrong for choosing “more evil” in the choice between “evil” and “more evil”. Keep patting yourself on the back for supporting Trump.
I didn’t choose. I don’t really understand how that’s hard to wrap your head around, but good attempt your propagandist
You’ve already been told this ad infinitum, but for those who haven’t:
This person (and all other willing non voters) supported the Trump campaign through inaction. There were exactly 2 possible results of the presidential election. There was no “none of the above” option, every single eligible voter steered the ship in one of two ways: towards Trump or towards Harris. This is a mathematical fact that results from having a FPTP voting system. You will never have more than 2 possible outcomes.
The idea that “I didn’t vote so I’m not responsible! I didn’t check the ‘Trump’ box!” Is a fantasy created so they don’t have to take responsibility for their actions. They may not have supported Trump as much as a red hat voting for him, but they definitely provided Trump more electoral support than Harris and that says quite a bit.
Maybe don’t scream “hey look everyone! I’m not an asshole!” immediately after doing some asshole shit? Have a nice day.
Take your own advice
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???
