In the case that the greater of two evils wins, you are then complicit.
The world isn't perfect. There will always be issues with candidates, because the world is messy and complex. If you chose not to vote for the lesser of two evils, you leave more opportunity for the _greater_ to succeed.

- davisoneee 3y agoI didn't say you asked for it...I said you're going to get it either way, so make the best of a bad situation. Sticking your head in the sand just gives more opportunity for _you_ to get the worse outcome.
- JackFr 3y agoYou don’t seem to get it. By continuing to participate you are prolonging it. Dream bigger. I mean unless you love the current shitshow. https://www.solzhenitsyncenter.org/live-not-by-lies https://www.solzhenitsyncenter.org/live-not-by-lies I know I’m not living in a totalitarian state like Solzhenitsyn, but yet I am refusing to eat dog shit cause it tastes better than cat shit.
- davisoneee 3y agoI get entirely what you mean, I just consider it naive utopianism. Dreams without any plan are just delusions. The system is going to continue on, for the near future at least. If you've got some plan to fix 'the current shitshow', do that, _while making the best out of the current shitshow_. You say you are refusing to eat dog shit. You're not. You're just letting society decide which shit you eat, without putting your vote in. The better, or worse, of two evils is still going to be elected. You're still going to be part of that system unless you're entirely off grid and self sufficient.
