Because whatever you think is in them, whatever you think we already know, it’s significantly worse.

Make sure you stay in your designated out of the way corner and clean up after yourselves so that people don’t even know you were there!

Not just sports. Children’s sports. Who’s the fuck cares, just let the kids play.

Did you ignore everything I said? Nobody is saying “less evil is fine, let’s go for more evil”. Well, nobody who voted against Trump anyway.

Let’s try your analogy again: you were presented with a glass full of poison, and a glass half full of poison, and told you had to choose one to drink. If you did not choose the choice would be made for you.

Instead of choosing the glass half full then trying to find some way to reduce and mitigate the damage, people said “there’s no such thing as a lesser poison” and drank the full glass.

Nobody said “acceptable”. Moving from “more evil” to “less evil” is how you make progress towards “no evil”.

Same amount in Gaza, more in the US.

Majority of Americans voted for Trump or were fine with Trump getting elected.

The majority of Americans are bigots.

We’re talking about structural issues with how elections work and what it takes to win them, and you keep trying to insist its about the individual choices of individual commenters on an obscure social media platform. Its literally fucking maddening.

Higher up in this thread:

every lib that voted for blue no matter who should be in the Hague along with the rest of the murderers

Lesser evil never leads towards better, it leads to worse.

Even more so with a greater evil.

Nobody is saying “settle for the lesser evil”. They are saying it’s easier to fight for progress against the lesser evil than the greater evil.

You mean some folks are okay with more genocide, as long as they pretend not doing the bare minimum to reduce the account of genocide absolves them of responsibility.

I’m going to blame the guy who tied six people to the tracks as well as the guy that didn’t pull the lever. I’m going to blame the guy who tied them to the tracks a lot more, but I can blame both.

Everyone has lost, and there’s more genocide.

Every single thing you complained about there could be said in response to your original post saying “it’s not free, it’s paid by taxes”.

Every accusation is a confession.

Settle down Cassandra.

For example, this post last month: https://lemmy.world/comment/21539323

I sent a new reply to that comment with a link to this article and they still replied “that’s how elections work and you need to wait until November”.

Nothing can happen until the November election.

If you do nothing until November they will spend that time making sure nothing happens in November: https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/house-passes-gops-sweeping-anti-voting-bill/

The state of Minnesota can wait until there is a more friendly administration

And this is why you can’t "wait until there is a more friendly administration: https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/house-passes-gops-sweeping-anti-voting-bill/

They will do everything in their power to make sure there never is a different administration.

To everyone saying people needed to wait until the mid-terms to take action: Fuck You.

any state that requires ID to vote has to give the ID free or it IS considered a poll tax.

They’re just going to not do it. Shrug their shoulders and say “oops, not enough time to implement it but we have to have the election now” and will get a finger wagging from the Supreme Court.
