    Not everyone thinks from a position of harm reduction. If you see a president stand up and speak out in favor of (in your eyes) genocide then you may not react to that ”rationally".

      If you’re protest voting on principle but not also joining more… radical… organizations that are actually working towards your desires, you’re just being foolish.

        Lots of voters ate foolish. And there’s something to be said for the fact that voting for the lesser evil keeps evil in power. Not saying that’s me but I do understand the sentiment.

          Which is why you either do something about it or suck it up and vote for the lesser.

          Just don’t do nothing and then pretend you’re taking a stand.
