    Watching the switch from “I can’t possibly vote for the lesser of two evils” to “ethnic cleansing isn’t as bad as genocide” is morbidly hilarious.

      Voting for either is wrong. Vote for a party that wants to commit neither.

      If you hate brussel sprouts more than cale, but you hate both of them, the logical choice is to eat neither. Doesnt mean that the one cant be worse than the other.

      Or to put it in mathematic terms:

      -2 is a negative number. -3 is a smaller negative number. Both are negative numbers. You can acknowledge that -2 is larger than -3 without having to claim either to be a positive number.

        And if you are getting either kale or brussel sprouts put in your mouth whether you want either of them or not, it makes sense to choose the one you dislike less.

            But the winner in the general was going to be either the D or the R regardless. Seriously, fewer than 1% of state and federal legislators are 3rd party. It’s been 1 presidential election shy of 60 years that a third party candidate has received a single electoral vote, even including Perot with almost 19% of the popular vote. Third party isn’t happening without election reform. So I’m always going to vote for least harm in the general. I’ll vote for progressives in the primary.
