I’ve been the vote blue guy and at this point it’s hard to ignore that voting evils (even if lesser) still continues our slide into evil. Break the system, fix the system or change the system but vote blue no matter who only >SOMETIMES< delays death but it doesn’t ever stop it. Maybe you’re young enough where you haven’t done the same thing over and over but I’m telling you, it never actually changes anything. At least, not for those without power in the middle east.

That's the whole point of the term 'harm reduction' though. It's not saying voting for Dem ghouls will fix our problems - it's explicitly saying harm will continue with our votes. The point is that harm reduction reduces the ongoing damage while we try other methods to right this fucked situation.

Whatever else we do 364 days a year, having fewer people being murdered while we do it is worth 1 day of casting a vote.
