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

      Ukraine’s war will continue regardless.

      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.

      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.

      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

      “Ukraine’s war” but Palestinian genocide. The situation in Ukraine is no less of a genocide, and it’s Russia’s war, Ukraine is just trying to survive.

          I said they’re both genocide. Just because the oppressor could lose doesn’t remove the possibility of genocide. Germany lost WW2, but they absolutely committed genocide.

          Russia has abducted 20k Ukrainian children. Russia has destroyed museums, schools, cultural monuments, and churches. Russia has changed the language in the regions they conquered. It has been declared a genocide by many nations, scholars, and the international criminal court.

          What “KD ratio” is required for a genocide to count in your mind?

              Historically that’s total nonsense. Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia were at war during the Nazi Holocaust in Russia that killed over a hundred thousand people. Are you saying that wasn’t genocide? I find that absurd.

              Israel declared war on Hamas, but that’s still a genocide. Russia didn’t declare war until last month. Ukraine hasn’t declared war, they’re being invaded. So how does your distinction make any sense?
