Harm Reduction Rule (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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

Thank you for the explanation. I essentially agree with your position, but also fear most of the people upvoting this meme aren't appreciating a distinction between choosing "no ethical action" and "inaction". Things inside the US are slowly, but unquestionably moving in a better direction today than they have been the past century. It's upsetting when people who claim to care for their fellow citizens advocate for surrendering the already extremely limited power they posses to turn the steering wheel.
