Inside the liberal mind

1.  It’s possible to chew gum and walk at the same time.

2.  If you lose the democracy then solving anything else becomes rather moot.  There’s a reason they tell you to put on your oxygen mask on first - in case of the cabin decompressing - before helping others.  If you try to it the other way round you won’t be able to help anybody because you’ll be unconscious.

&gt;If you lose the democracy

So vote for your guy and get... genocide. Or vote for the other guy and get... more genocide. Is that the democracy you have?

Exactly, one will perpetuate genocide, the other will perpetuate *more* genocide. Why would you ever contribute to the option that leads to more. Not to mention things like climate policy that can actively and meaningfully reduce the risk of deadly conflicts and future genocide.

Dude just vote for the Hitler that will kill 5 million people and not  6 million, it’s so much better bro believe me!!!

The difference in your insane hypothetical is still literally a MILLION lives! How is that not a preferable option!? 

The electoral hegemony of the US is not going to change within the next year because 10s to 100s of thousand people refuse to swallow their pride and vote for the lesser of two genuine evils. What may change is whether someone who is explicitly and proudly an anti democratic fascist, known sexual predator, climate change denier and oil and gas industry supporter, proud racist, blatantly anti sexual and gender freedoms, and potentially traitorous person gets the opportunity to unleash their administration on the world. Trumps administration enabled the overturning of Roe v Wade, they attempted to pull out of the Paris Accord, they implemented insane tax cuts for the rich, and their position on Gaza is more aggressive and will be objectively worse for Palestinians. How are these two candidates remotely comparable in the net harm they will do to society in the US and throughout the world? Who will drawing this line in the sand help?
