      Voting options were not:

      A. Genocide

      B. No genocide

      They were: A. Genocide in Gaza

      B: genocide in Gaza + maybe Ukraine + maybe losing democracy + rolling back environmental protections + enabling the best friend of a known pedophile child trafficker… Etc

      C. B, but with a side of smug self satisfying moral high ground

      You are not more moral for choosing C.

      Guess what, you can both care about the environment AND not commit genocide.

      Oh really? Which candidate on the ballot in 2024 who had that platform? None? Well I guess I’ll opt for the one that’s at least 1 for 2.

      The conversation was always about harm reduction, but keep imagining that one policy is the only thing that matters.

          Nah man, plenty of other people all over the world are harmed way more by the Trump administration. Take your head out of the sand if you’re going to pretend to actually give a shit about anything

              Holy fuck open your goddamn eyes. Way worse is continuing that policy PLUS literally every grift, corruption, destruction, repression, depression and violence of the 2nd Trump term. What the fuck are you even arguing here?

                  Who said it was unavoidable? What the fuck is denialist about needing to cast the obvious vote on this specific election day? You’ve got nothing to actually add, your “argument” presents no alternatives, just chastisement about my strategy. Why do you even bother?

                    This guy might actually be this clueless and opinionated, but it also bears mentioning that there have been active social media campaigns to derail serious conversations into flame wars for the past 10+ years from all sorts of different actors. They’re probably home grown or influenced by that, but it’s just better not to let them aggravate you. From the outside, choices can be misrepresented as support for the things you disapprove of and bad faith actors will always do this.

              Ok so they did that. Now what are my new options in the voting booth? Does that actually change my voting strategy in any way?
