if my only choice is evil i will always automatically choose less evil. its really not even a choice.
if we really care about this shit, we would be pushing grass-roots ranked-choice voting to incur actual 3rd parties that matter. but we arent. so less evil it is. you can choose more evil if that makes you feel better, but you should know youre fucking everyone else over.
Or you can choose something else entirely and not support a genocide. Turns out, if enough people do this, there's even a small chance they might win. There's even a chance that if they don't win that this will push or even terrorize one of the major parties into moving to your position. But perhaps your conscience allows you to support a genocide. I certainly don't have the stomach for that though.
Edit: A word
Do you have an examples you'd like to cite of this happening in the context of a US presidential election?
Nope, just the ability to perform elementary arithmetic.
Oh so, what's the arithmetic for how many times this has happened?
0 + 0 = 0
Coincidentally, that's also the likelihood of this happening.
Well thank god such a renowned statistician has taken an interest in this subject.
You're already in here pretending to be a renowned electoral scholar. I say thier math adds up better than yours.
