My point is very obvious and straightforward. You cannot appease everybody no matter what you do, and that includes voting, and therefore you should do what you believe is right regardless of what others think, whether that's voting for something or not voting at all... but I suppose this is just a part of some grand propaganda conspiracy to help boost the Republican party by sowing discourse on Lemmy. Do you even hear yourself?
Because the only imaginable positive outcome is appeasing everyone of course.
How about trying to minimize harm to as many people as possible?
That's stupid, of course it isn't. But the whole point of posts like this one is try to shame people for voting or not voting. These are the types of people who expect appeasement. MAGA isn't the only thing our political landscape that wants appeasement. Either way, this type of thing never works. People like OP will never be pleased no matter what. People don't vote to appease others nor should they. Everybody wants to minimize harm, but what that means is something that's entirely subjective.
It's not subjective. That's an obvious lie. Everyone is being harmed more under Trump than they would be under Harris.
