    Pretty sure more than half of these elections we’re choosing the worse evil

    No offense, but for the population at large, was there a meaningful choice?

    The side that really wanted this might have been a smaller minority than the ones that did not, but ultimately they were not only far for violent (in every meaning of the word and method) but also had control of the police and the courts, meaning murderers routinely got away with it while the leadership and even rank and file got murdered, received very long prison sentences that removed them from society entirely, or even got framed for murders and executed or lynched for it.

    The average person does not now, or have they ever, dictated anything. Also as it stands there is no such thing as an ‘average’ person by any metric.

    If you are advocating for proportional representation and ranked choice voting, perhaps you should say that, OP.

    We as a society need to make posting AI slop as much of a taboo as, like, pissing on the side of a building. It should be something that you just don’t do as a matter of decorum.

    Not really, because if people consistently choose the lesser evil. Like if 90% voted for lesser evils, then the other party would have to change things up, or there could be a new party that would have a chance of winning because they’re competing for that 90% of people and no way would the evil party win.

    But no, problems isn’t choosing lesser evil, it’s that significant people still choose evil
