No, but it takes a child to feel morally superior when they enabled people to hurt others because the other option was imperfect.
That is the most selfish possible way to approach life. You're not the main character, other people's lives are at stake. Voting a specific way just to make yourself feel better knowing you are endangering others by doing so is not some morally superior choice.
Risking letting someone win who conspired to overthrow an election and who has promised his supporters that if they elect him this time they won't have to vote ever again. Selfish naive children. Fuck Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and the rest of the Democratic machine, at least you'll be able to vote again and you might actually get to negotiate for things that make people's lives better.
I don't have "a guy" I'm just not a naive child.
And if Trump wins because of your "morally superior" choice you'll have only succeeded in helping Israel exterminate them faster. There will not be any discussions about whether to pause or halt shipments of arms.
It doesn't work if that's the last time you get a vote.
Tell that to all the people who will be hurt if that protest vote enables someone worse.
That's not how it works. You want to force the party left then build movement from the ground up. Go out on the corner and collect signatures to change your voting system to ranked choice instead first past the post. Run for local office as a socialist or green.
The fact that all you have to do is once every 4 years push a button should tell you that it's not the right thing to do to effect change.
Presidential elections are not about voting for a perfect candidate, very few elections are ever about that. They are about putting someone in power you are most capable of negotiating with. The person that is both capable of winning and closest to your ideals.
Go ahead and feel morally superior as your protest vote enables someone way worse to hurt way more people. All the women dying of ectopic pregnancies or sepsis from stillbirths they cannot abort are on you. The GOP will let Russia have Ukraine where they will rape and murder anyone who resists, and they will unconditionally increase funding for Israel's genocidal land grab.
And you will think, "that's not my fault, I voted for the not evil one."
But that's not true, because you could have voted for the person who is willing to negotiate on those things, but you chose to feel better about yourself instead of actually help anyone.
What about their arguing?
Those same morons didn't vote in the primary to oust him.
Yes, there is. Even Xitter quickly changed their LLM to point to a government website whenever voting questions were asked so they have no liability.
