This comment is an excellent example of the kind of BS that helped Trump win.
John Stuart Mill in 1867 said: “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”
I’m not justifying not voting, I’m explaining that not voting doesn’t mean “I’m happy either way”. If you were a Palestinian and watched the Democratic party continue to arm the Israeli Defence Forces as they targeted civilians, you might find it hard to give them your vote, even though the alternative is worse. Have more compassion.
And this is the bullshit reasoning that got us into this mess.
The time to have principles is in the Primary, where you and your buddies go out and convince the rest of the Democratic leaning people that maybe we should impress AOC or some other leftie to run in the Primaries, then convince people in places like this to vote for that leftie in the Primary. Once the Primary happens, you have to weigh what happened and will happen, and vote accordingly. By not voting, the people you’re insisting I have compassion for voted for the Shitgibbon and everything he has done. Harris might have continued funding the IDF, but because of the people you’re sucking up to here, Trump is directly supporting the genocide with an eye for preemo real-estate after it’s said and done.
Don’t be stupid and enable that cruelty. Wait. Too late for that~!
You’re arguing for the both sides are the same front while saying “have more compassion”. It’s worse end of story, the present situation is worse. This situation has been caused by apathetic voters. Cause and effect.
you’re arguing for the both sides are the same front
No I’m not, I literally said “even though the alternative is worse”. And again, I’m not justifying not voting, I’m explaining that not voting doesn’t mean “I’m happy either way”.
