Democrats didn’t try to repeal the Patriot Act. They kept reauthorizing it. They didnt try to address Citizens United, they ignored it. They didn’t try to close Guantanamo Bay. They didn’t try to roll back ICE funding. And all the stuff that Trump is currently doing, they will do absolutely nothing to roll any of it back. Liberal lesser evil enables the greater evil. When liberals say lesser evil, what they mean is the same evil but affects them less.
It doesn’t slow anything, there’s an option of no harm but liberals are terrified of using it because the current system benefits THEM so much. All the harm that trump has created will be kept in place by Democrats once he’s out, the exact same way they kept most of his first term stuff under Biden. Their ratchet effect always prevents Republican actions from ever slipping back.
Nothing. And that’s what we all have to do, since voting doesn’t fix 99% of the problems we need to solve. It’s like trying to build muscle by studying math. Will studying math help you when you need to track your progress and understand angles and pulleys? Yes. But studying math isn’t going to build muscle. Nothing is stopping me from going to the gym and also studying math, but studying math isn’t actually the thing that will build muscle.
Voting isn’t solving any of our problems. Can it help a little bit with some of them? Maybe. But we need to be honest about what it will solve.
lesser evil won in 2020 & we got:

I will poke only one hole in your little list there.
pretty sure any number of deaths would’ve been record numbers…
And now the bigger evil won in 2024 and we got:
Thank you for proving the point that voting lesser evil slows the decline.
Fight for a third party during pre-election, but not during the election when it is obvious to everyone the third party isn’t going to do anything.

What’s the no harm option?
Expressing power outside the voting booth
OK, so what stops you from doing that as well as voting?

Congrats, you agree with me.
Hey, don’t let me stop you from signing up for trigonometry in order to build strength.
I’ll be at the gym.
I’m pretty sure record covid deaths happened in 2020 not 2021 when Biden was president.
Also, you do realize that “first declared” is better than leaving it undeclared right?
Declaring it and then do nothing about it causes as much harm as those that greater the circumstances to declare it
