    You seem to be under the impression that your not voting changes the binary outcome.

    This pyrrhic victory neglects to recognize that either Trump or Harris will be elected. And there is no circumstance that Trump is better than Harris. Not on women’s rights. Not on climate change. Not on Ukraine. And not on Gaza.

    Whether you like it or not, it’s Harris or Trump. Sticking your head in the sand doesn’t change this fact.

    So both the moral and pragmatic solution is to choose the lesser evil that gives the highest odds to improve all these groups. Which is Harris. Factually.

      Me voting wouldn’t change the outcome either, considering I can’t.

      Is killing wrong?

        Yes, killing wrong.

        Killing more people with less chance to kill fewer people more wrong.

        Again, dichotomous choice. Easiest choice to make, really.

            Correction: it is less wrong.

            Standing by and letting someone kill more when your action could’ve resulted in less makes you as culpable in the killing as Biden and Harris themselves.

                You can’t vote so you’re irrelevant but still, no, the only agency I’m privileged to have is my vote. Doing nothing means more die. Voting Harris means less die. Simple.
