    The lesser evil is not good, it’s the less evil option

    When did I ever make that claim? Disagreeing with you does not make someone a troll that’s a pathetic fallacy grow up. A “good” option is less evil than an evil option how are we even arguing this right now?

      Were arguing this point because you’re objectively wrong.

      The lesser evil is not good, it’s evil. Good is not less evil than evil, it’s not evil.

      It’s not a spectrum. Its a different option. Beef is not less poultry than turkey, it is beef.

        You’re pretending good and evil isn’t a spectrum and calling it objective. I think we’re done here.

      You just repeated the claim in this comment.

      The good option for magas is Trump, their less evil option is Biden, the evil option would have been a competent third party or a protest or literally anything but voting.

      The good option for people that aren’t evil was doing anything to stop either Harris or Trump from taking office. Anything at all. Treason is the better option than voting for either destruction of the US people.

      The fact you don’t understand that nothing in life is binary is how were arguing this right now. Good is not the lesser evil, it is good. The lesser evil is still just evil.

        You seem to think there was a third candidate that could have won the election. There were two. Binary means two possible values. Yes this was binary and not voting helped one of the two. Things in life absolutely can be binary have you ever flipped a coin? That’s an absolutely absurd claim to make. You’re very much living in a different reality

          A third candidate was a possible option, yes. And there were plenty. If you vote for people they win. That’s not the only option you had or will have in 2026/2028

          As far as your second point, a coin flip has endless possibilities, the easiest to demonstrate is it landing in its side, rather than a face.

          Exceedingly few things are binary, and those that are are rarely that way naturally and must be forced into being that way.

            And that is about as likely to happen as a third candidate is in our current system

            Exceedingly few things are binary,

            Looks like you’re realizing how ridiculous your statement was 🤡

              Incorrect on all counts. Sucks you’ll be in the camps and never help, all so you can jerk off to the false idea that you were right.

                never help

                Like abstaining and letting the camp makers into power? That thing you’re literally advocating for? You cannot be this stupid. Check your home for a gas leak

                  …the thing I’m advocating for has been the only thing in history to threaten and dethrone fascists.

                  You can’t vote them out, kiddo.

                    You understand that a viable third candidate would be to be on the ballot right? You understand how absolutely impossible it would be to get a third candidate to win in a write in vote right? You can’t believe that. I just refuse to believe you are genuinely stupid enough to believe that. Do you just not understand how ballots work???
