Stop dancing around with this idealistic theoretical scenario. Simple question: in November 2022, who did you support for the presidential election?
You mean November 2024. I voted third party.
This isn’t a thought experiment, or philosophical grandstanding. There were only 4 choices at that time, and all but one helped Trump.
"Helped?" If I had been dead, or if I had never been born, Trump would have received the same number of votes. My vote in no way "helped" Trump. If not voting for Trump "helped" him, then my vote also "helped" Harris by the same logic.
You're assuming that my default state is voting Democrat, as if they are somehow entitled to my vote. That is simply not true.
Ultimately, you're just trying to assert Lesser Evilism in a roundabout way, by refusing to acknowledge or discuss it. You can't allow the discussion to examine it because you can't actually defend it under scrutiny. That's why you talk about "philosophical grandstanding."
