Advocating voting for a lesser evil could be considered harmful, though.

Why?

[–] Prunebutt@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because it suggests that it's sufficient for progressive change.

I don't think it does.

Don't get me wrong. I know people who want to believe voting is all that is necessary for progressive change, but they are wrong.

Edit: How does voting for the lesser evil suggest that it's sufficient for progressive change?

Ok how does advocating for voting for the lesser evil suggest that voting for the lesser evil is sufficient for progressive change? Is that better?

It suggests that people need to vote for progressive change and that congludes their options to enact power on the system.
