Just curious, do you live in one of fewer than 10% of districts that’s actually a battleground area? Otherwise, sorry, your vote is meaningless anyway. Gerrymandering guarantees that! Sorry if your feeling of moral superiority fades now.
At the end of the day you can’t blame the user for making do with a systemically broken process. For me, someone like 90+% of Americans, my vote actually, provably, does not matter. At all. I would rather be a part of the record setting number of 3rd party voters, signaling to the system, that we know it’s fucked, and we’re not going to play anymore.
If my vote mattered, I 1000% agree with you. But it doesn’t, so I don’t.
I’m glad you do! Then I would be in your boat as well. Your vote matters, sincerely, for the rest of us, use it.
I have yet to say who I’ll vote for, but, I’m not really a leftist, so likely not their non existent candidate.
I don’t think it’s going to be a difference. Or be anymore valuable than voting for a main party, but, it seems every election, the # of votes not going to republican or democrat is growing. (I don’t actually have the data to back that but I think I heard that the last 2 elections, I can try to look if it’s a big deal.) I would rather vote in a manner that, hopefully, elected officials can at least put into a data set, that says “hmmm looks like Americans are more and more disillusioned by this” and maybe that can lead to something. For me, in a not competitive area, that’s way more compelling than the status quo if you get me.
Their point was clearly that the total amount of genocide is less in that scenario. It takes an extremely uncharitable reading to imagine that they are saying that genocide doesn’t matter if it happens elsewhere (and one that ignores all of the surrounding context within the text itself).

You took that out of context on purpose. Stfu if you can’t at least debate in good faith
