Good thing the candidate that was on the ballot wasn’t associated with him or his administration in any way and also vigorously denounced genocide at every opportunity! Right? … right??

i mean not really, it's not out of moralism that i choose not to vote for genocidal warmonger red/blue, in fact the moralism is thinking voting for genocidaires is 'pragmatic'. not to mention continuing to votescold people over a year later lmao

organizing outside electoralism builds actual power. voting for slightly different managers of the same bloodthirsty war machine doesn't

I guess the view that I want to articulate could be represented as a trolley meme with the following changes:

1. The lever has only some unknown probability of steering the trolley's path
2. Millions of other people also influence the lever to degrees which are unknown
3. The track splits into at least 10 different paths instead of two
4. There are more splits off of each subsequent path
5. Each path also produces benefits to some actors (not sure how we'd represent that)

If I try to simplify these changes, though, then maybe I could depict my view a bit like this?

And there's no viable way to do that under the current system, which is why the track isn't connected.

it’s simple, you just don’t vote for the genocidal warmonger party, then if enough people do that you win

THAT'S NOT HOW VOTING WORKS!

People have to vote FOR the OTHER party, or else the genocidal warmonger party wins anyway!

You are saying shit that is both moronic and factually untrue.
