If people critical of this could organize something more useful than lemmy downvotes, that would be a start. I'm just genuinely confused by anyone that feels like **not** voting accomplishes anything. _By definition_, it is inaction. And mathematically, voting third party is the same as not voting. Why not at least defend gay and trans people? You can still do whatever non-voting-related actions you were planning to do to improve things. I guess you're making your trolley problem choice. Honestly, the moral purity that has no impact just reads as vanity to me.

So, you've got zero problem with Trump voters on moral grounds, correct? How could one possibly twist themselves into believing that a political act can somehow exist outside the realm of ethics and morality? Politics *is* ethics. Ethics are political. Why are you you trying to decouple these? Oh wait.... its because yall will do whatever mental gymnastics are needed to justify voting for a genocidal, former cop.

If you have to vote for someone who supports genocide you’re already fucked.
