The only virtue of a wasted vote is the personal satisfaction that you get out of it, and that personal satisfaction has no real world effect on politics unless you are voting for a visionary with overwhelmingly popular support. (i.e. you would know if one is in the race)

if i'm wasting my vote then i may as well not vote at all. but i'm going to vote and it's going to be for someone who won't sign off on genocide.

When I was younger I was one of those “enlightened centrists” who believed in things like the purity of my vote, but reality caught up with me eventually.

baby, i'm an anarchist.

Nah, it’s pretty evident that either you don’t understand or are willfully ignorant/trolling.

false dichotomy

i'm not voting for him, so don't worry.

Refusing to make a choice is still a choice.

if the choice i'm making is "not endorsing a genocidal president" then i can live with that. i couldn't live with myself if i did endorse genocide.

The only options are: status quo that doesn’t do the bare minimum against genocide, or an actual fascist who is literally promising to do more genocide.

i expect to have at least 4 names on my ballot. i don't need to pick one of your favorite teams.

impugning my intelligence doesn't change whether i'm right. your ad hominem says more about you than it does me.

nothing to do about it now. congress has continually eroded its own power in order to avoid hard decisions that might cost them their next election. the have concentrated almost all the power in the executive branch, and i don't see that changing. in fact, if they could create a department of impeachment and place it under the executive i think they would.

genocide doesn't cancel out. it's bad and i won't vote for it.

Conscientious objectors don't end wars, are they a wasted strategy too?

I don't consider it a strategy to end war, I consider it a personal conviction. I don't care about the efficacy: either it's the right thing to do, or it is not.

no, I'm voting against genocide. only by voting for Democrats or Republicans are you voting for genocide, as this post makes so abundantly clear.
