Since you were kinder than the second person who replied to me, I will engage this in good faith. I expressed hesitation for not voting for Platner if he gets to the election (which is still up in the air, cause of the primaries). And as I told the other person, that is because he doesn't feel like a lesser of the two evils. I do not have to vote for genocide lite to avoid genocide pro, I can just not vote for genocide. Which I want to point out was the main reason for most people protest voting in the first place. We had told the Democrat Party for months that we would not vote for a candidate that was supporting Israel. And we were not quite about it. The Democratic Party did not listen, and people held true to the threats they made. The Democratic Party is at fault for American Fascism, not people who refused to vote between fascism lite and fascism pro.
I have more than just that reason, but I won't deny it was a major reason. Platner seems like an actually good candidate, and because that addressed a major issue I had with voting I now have reason to reconsider my position on voting.
If you want to change someone's mind on something, addressing their concerns, respecting their perspective, and working constructively is the best way to get someone to work and agree with you. Guilt tripping, scolding, and shaming on the other hand doesn't. Thats because it never addresses our concerns, only tries to combat us on our beliefs. Which, at least for myself, you are not going to change.
