Democracy is when a leader is allowed to facilitate genocide and then threaten his voterbase by saying his opponent is worse and will do the same thing.

Harm reduction candidate is the Blue MAGA.

But... It's demonstrably true that red MAGA will be worse soo... Got an actual alternative before November? No? Ok.

Neither candidate will fundamentally change anything. The US has always been an unsustainable broken oligarchy based on robbing others.

This is just the consequences of such a system, a slow painful decline.

The alternative to harm reduction is... harm increase? Democrats being terrible and Republicans being substantially worse are not mutually exclusive facts. The election is FPTP, lesser evil is always the only rational choice.

Absolutely do everything in your power to facilitate tasteful alternatives between elections, but on election day anything other than voting for the lesser evil is tacit approval of the greater evil. Yeah, it's a shitty hostage situation, but the alternative is "Fuck the hostages".
