If it’s truly just a lesser evil, as opposed to “good”, then voters will be disillusioned and the next election will result in fascism. Liberals failing to do good is the sole reason fascism is escalating worldwide.
It’s not what I meant. I’m not criticizing people for voting liberal on that one – I’m criticizing, on one hand, the lax attitude people have towards fascism before elections happen, and the unwillingness of both the prosecutors and leaders to do anything about fascism.
The attitude of the latter is why the former is so lax about fascism (imo), and they should be pressured to take actual action against fascism, as well as actually addressing popular issues. Because simple posturing is how thing don’t get better for the average voter, and why that average voter might end up thinking fascism might be the actual solution
Voting for the lesser evil: this is how to do it, USA.
I mean, it is a two-round system.
First time is voting for your favorite.
Second round is voting against the worse of the two.
The US needs this, like get rid of party primaries and have a blanket non-partisan parimary where you vote for whoever. Bernie, AOC, etc.
Or better yet: ranked-choice.
Well said. It’s a band aid for first-past-the-post voting. Ranked voting already includes multiple rounds, while only doing the physical voting once.
If it’s truly just a lesser evil, as opposed to “good”, then voters will be disillusioned and the next election will result in fascism. Liberals failing to do good is the sole reason fascism is escalating worldwide.
“Better get fascism now, rather than next election” is such a dumb take
