    You seem to be under the impression that your not voting changes the binary outcome.

    Me voting wouldn’t change the outcome either, considering I can’t.

     

    So both the moral and pragmatic solution is to choose the lesser evil

    Is killing wrong?

      Yes, killing wrong.

      Killing more people with less chance to kill fewer people more wrong.

      Again, dichotomous choice. Easiest choice to make, really.

        If killing is wrong, then voting to kill some rather than more is still wrong.

        I request better options.

          Correction: it is less wrong.

          Standing by and letting someone kill more when your action could’ve resulted in less makes you as culpable in the killing as Biden and Harris themselves.

            We’re standing by to let killing happen right now. I’m the one saying that’s unacceptable.

              You can’t vote so you’re irrelevant but still, no, the only agency I’m privileged to have is my vote. Doing nothing means more die. Voting Harris means less die. Simple.
