    “I can’t have zero genocide so I’ll vote for more genocide” is an equally stupid take.

          I didn’t say I wasn’t voting for biden. We’re all familiar with the system. There is a least bad choice, but there are no sane choices in an insane system and I take issue with the framing that only the enlightened liberal is sane for picking a pro-genocide candidate who also serves billionaires first and foremost, and who benefits from and wishes to continue this insane first past the post voting system.

              No, I’m voting biden because he’s the least bad choice. He’s still a shitty choice and one I would only make in an insane system.

                So you think that you’re doing something irrational?

                To be honest, I’ve never met an irrational person who knew they were irrational. This is a new one for me. Usually people making irrational decisions don’t realize the flaws in their logic, and think they’re being rational.

                So if you know you’re being irrational, where is the flaw in your logic? And why don’t you fix it?

            Sounds like, by your own logic, you love the pro-genocide candidate because you understand how FPTP works. Your original comment is doubly irrelevant now.
