    And more excuses to advocate for genocide. Even the Nazi’s weren’t this much in denial. A vote for Biden or Trump directly condones and support genocide. It is a direct action that shows that you voluntarily condone and support it. If you do not vote, or vote third party, you are not complicit in genocide. But if you vote for Biden or Trump then you do.

      Says who? You may be able to put whatever you want on the ballot but you statistically have 2 options in a ftpt system. You can only influence the vote in one of two directions, that’s it. I don’t know why you won’t recognize that fact. You’re mathematically assisting the Republican party get elected (the far greater threat of genocide).

      You’re significantly more complicit for the damage the GOP does. Every extra bomb that trump drops on Gaza is on you. Direct or indirect action doesn’t matter, what matters is the results.

      If you can explain to me how voting third party prevents the GOP from gaining power OR how Donald Trump would be an improvement over Joe Biden I’m all ears, but besides that I think we’re done here. I just hope others can understand how backwards this idea is.

        only in an ethical system that says the ends justify the means. inconsequential ethics say that the ethics are in the action itself.
