Can I get a smug lecture on how you're choosing the third, disconnected track?

If an issue isn't on the ballot you can't vote on it.

Vote for your perfect ideals in the primaries. Vote for the better of the 2 options in the general.

    The problem is if someone is willing to support genocide, it's not actually possible to perform a fair "lesser of two evils" analysis. There's literally nothing worse than genocide. If you're willing to support that for power, there's nothing you won't support, no promise you won't go back on, no group of constituents you won't betray. How many trans people voted for AIPAC democrats on the "lesser of two evils" approach, just to watch those same assholes turn around and start talking about "keeping men out of women's sports" the moment it became politically popular?

    In order to judge the lesser evil, you need to actually be able to judge the beliefs of a candidate. But these people don't actually believe in anything. They don't really support anything. They're just chasing polls and donor dollars to win power. You can't perform a lesser of evils analysis against a shapeshifter.

    Good thing you can vote on this. You can vote for anyone who does not support the genocide, of which there are several parties.
    I would do the primary thing, if it weren't for the fact anyone who is mildly leftist gets fucked over by the DNC, almost like there is some sort of class collaboration going on.

    By the way, do you maybe think that by letting democrats get away with genocide, they'll expand their genocide? Kind of seems like that's what's happening since, by letting them get away with everything else, they've expanded all the horros.
