There are no ethical choices under first-past-the-post voting. We must instead make a decision that reduces the most harm.

    What population of people outside of your country is going to be “saved” by a round-2 Biden ticket exactly?..

    You can’t possibly believe in the man taking >$5.5M from Israel to run the Palestinian state into the dirt, right?

    You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train

      People living in Ukraine, Gaza, and Taiwan to name a few. Also everyone in countries in Europe besides Ukraine. In fact most of the countries of the world, because authoritarian dictatorships will carve the world into spheres of influence. To be clear, dictators will be killing millions of people in their spheres of influence with genocides and ethnic cleansings.

      Do you mean giving to? If we’re still talking about Biden then I believe he will do the least harm.

      You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train

      This supports my argument as I am arguing we need to pick the side that will do the least harm. There is no way to be neutral with FPTP voting.

        Ukraine’s war will continue regardless.

        The Palestinian genocide will continue regardless.

        Taiwan isn’t under any threat of being killed by the millions at the moment, so I’m not even sure how he would “save” them?..

        Do you mean giving to?

        No 😂. Look up a list of the most “donations” taken from Israel by any political candidate. Did you genuinely not look into things like this before defending him with a shitty Sonic meme?

        This supports my argument

        This is also wrong. You are allowing genocide to continue by agreeing with the current status-quo. Acting like voting in the same man taking in millions to kill over 100,000 brown people (most of which are women and children) will somehow SAVE Palestine (I noticed you used “Gaza” there by mistake, nbd I fixed that for you) is so painfully ignorant it just has to be on purpose.

        Stop drinking the state-narrative kool-aid you dork.

          No, Russia will conquer Ukraine if someone doesn’t support them. Trump isn’t going to support Ukraine. Biden will.

          The Palestinian genocide will continue regardless.

          No, Trump will encourage Israel to finish the genocide.

          Taiwan isn’t under any threat of being killed by the millions at the moment, so I’m not even sure how he would “save” them?..

          From China who famously wants to invade Taiwan.

          No 😂. Look up a list of the most “donations” taken from Israel by any political candidate. Did you genuinely not look into things like this before defending him with a shitty Sonic meme?

          Oh, you meant donations he received. Yeah, most US politicians have through AIPAC. I had no idea what you were talking about.

          No, Trump will encourage Israel to finish the genocide. All Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel will be killed. Gaza is just one part of Palestine, not the whole thing. edit: typo
