The purity test of.. not doing a genocide??

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Imagine that before you stand two candidates. One of them supports genocide and corporations as people, but does occasionally manage to also support human rights. The other of them supports genocide and corporations as people, but also is working to break our democracy and replace it with fascism.

Those are your two options.

If you decide not to vote for the first one because they support genocide, then you are lending your support to fascism.

I would hope you would have supported a better candidate earlier in the process, but the point is that when faced with the final voting options, many people withdraw from voting because they don't like the candidate that is of the party that they would support if they did like them.

And so the fascists win that voter's voting power, essentially.

Worth noting that I'm not talking about earlier in the process because the above scenario is an extremely simplified version of what our options have mostly been.

Then the country deserves to be sanctioned out of existence and balkanized. Sorry about your shitty situation. Death to America.
