Let me tell you the thing that changed my mind on lesser evil voting.

It used to be, when people said "if you vote for the lesser evil you are endorsing evil" I would balk, because thats not why I was voting lesser evil right? I was voting for the differences.

Then it hit me, thats not how the candidate and party see my vote is it? No, they see my vote as a 100% endorsement of everything they are doing. Which in this case includes a genocide.

In 50 years I dont want to look children in the face asking me what I did during the Gaza genocide and say "voted for the guy committing the genocide because he was nicer".
