    I don’t believe in accepting “the lesser of two evils”

    I’ve been seeing this argument alot this electing cycle. Can you provide an example of a politician that has done committed or supported an action that could be considered “evil”?

        Do you think that Trump or the Republicans will halt military support to Isreal?

        You also have not answered my question. Are you simply not voting because all politicians are just various degrees of evil and voting for any of them will be “accepting ‘the lesser of two evils’”?

        I am genuinely interested in knowing the point of that statement. Is it to encourage people not to vote?

        Are their any other topics that you apply this mentality to or is it just this election?

        Edit: To answer your question, no, I do not support genocide. I do however believe in choosing the lesser of two evils when there are no better alternatives.

          I am unwilling to accept genocide as the “lesser” evil. Sorry. Unlike Biden’s support for Israel, my support for the DNC actually has red lines.

            No need to apologize. You do what you think is best.

            Is your intent to not vote or do you have a candidate that you believe will halt the military support of Isreal?

              I don’t think either will, I think Trump would keep Bibi on a shorter leash though just via emasculation shit. Like if a news source got Trump on record going “Netanyahu won’t do X” and he did, Trump would be piiiiiised, but at the same time, I know Epstein was a Mossad operative and Trump was regionally known here around NYC to be into the Klub Kids and like them young, so they probably have blackmail… I am just not willing to do any act materially furthering an act of terrorism,which is a crime

          If you advocate supporting Harris, you advocate for genocide.
