Voting for trump (or proxy voting for him) is crossing a moral line.

And brings them further from their goal.

Rage voting doesn’t fix anything. It stands to make it worse.

I can’t understand some people’s drive to vote in a tyrant because they’re annoyed by a centrist.

The hitch is that other people do what's right according to their own moral reckoning, whether you understand it or not.

I don’t think voting for Trump will help the Palestinians, when he says things like,

“you’ve got to have victory. You have to have a victory, and it’s taking a long time." Trump said that Israel must "finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life."

Or, as we call it, cutting off the nose to spite the face.

As long as they own the side effects, then cool.
