Harm reduction voting is kicking the can down the road, or in Christian terms 'robbing peter to pay paul'
It's based in fear and cowardice. The only way we will ever change anything is if we are collectively fearless and fucking stand for principles
Its also a self fulfilling prophecy, which is exactly what Dems seem to be hoping for. Splitting the vote so facists keep winning seems more and more to be the real goal of most Democrats since like... Al Gore
Give a productive example *of an alternative.
Downvotes for why ffs

Look at where we are now. With the ratchet effect. You keep voting for genocide? Guess what you get. Kamala literally said there would be no difference, the most lethal military ever, campaign with a McCain and where did that lead us

A productive example, not your view of history.
Something realistic and productive.
