Couldn't you see that people are sick of "the lesser evil" they just let the greater evil win?

Voting for lesser evil is important although the lesser evil is still evil
*Long term effects of a broken 2 party voting system...
FTFY
This is a lie. People just spread this to trick you into not voting so the Republicans win.
The short term effect of voting for the "greater evil" (or not voting at all): straight to the far, far right.
You perceive it going the opposite direction of whatever you are.
In other words, "B-but..."
Meanwhile, Trump takes office in 2 months. Keep polishing that halo tho!
It's incredible that libs still haven't figured out that vote shaming doesn't work. Instead of doing some reflection on why Trump won, there's just more of the same moralizing happening.
Remember, Trump is so supernaturally evil that everyone has to drop their principles and vote for the blue coloured genocidal fascists, but not so evil that Democrats should have to actually make any effort to win the election.
Exactly, any atrocities that the democrats commit can be absolved by not voting for Trump. It really is a cult isn't it.
Honestly, Blue MAGA has deified Trump more than red MAGA, they just see him as an evil god rather than benevolent.
Pretty much yeah, he's the devil of their religion.
Dems lost twice with the same rhetoric. Vote Dems or get trump. I thought they learned from the past, but no, just double down.

The image only works if the right always wins though?
No?
Then please explain how this works. This image isn't doing it for me.
No.
Look at how the system actually works. There are two choices. Both candidates have to compete for all the people who vote. If you sit out the election that doesn't mean either candidate will try to get your vote; they'll ignore you and go after the people who do vote.
Someone else came up with this analogy. It's like the trolley problem except the there's a third option. The third choice is to throw the switch to "Neither," but "Neither" isn't connected and the trolley kills someone anyway.
Or as Rush put it, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”
George Carlin did a great job blowing this nonsense apart
If George was alive today he'd be begging people to vote against Trump.
No he wouldn't, and the video I linked explains clearly why. Maybe watch it and try to comprehend what he's saying there.
Let me explain something you may not be aware of.
The man was an entertainer. His job was to make people laugh. I can cherry pick his work and come up with all kinds of absurd ideas he put into his act.
If the only argument you can make is based on a comedy routine, then we have nothing more to discuss.
Let me explain something you may not be aware of. Entertainers often say serious things that cannot be said in other mediums. If you don't understand that Carlin was doing political commentary, and appreciate his insights then you're a very dim individual indeed.
Yeah bro, the anti war hippie who was challenging the FCC in the 70s would have totally been team corporatocracy. Carlin had several interviews where he talked about how the two party system in America is an illusion of choice and ragged on Bill Clinton for being phony, and that's the farthest left liberal candidate in like 30 years, a fucking neoliberal.
Yall sound exactly like the conservatives claiming MLK.
Like I said, if you can't come up with anything except a comedy act, we have nothing to discuss.
Here's a clip from his early days, proof that he couldn't possibly have ever changed his thoughts about anything.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKO8qMJtbng this is from the 90s through the early 2000s, but I imagine you'll find another reason to dismiss his words to pretend you know what was in his heart was different tho.
For the record, I don't agree with his defeatist outlook, I think there's comedians with better takes on American politics, but to pretend Carlin would be blue MAGA just because you wish him to be is ridiculous.
You understand how things work! Ignore the apathy trolls. They are trying to silence your vote. Here's what actually happens if you vote for the lesser of two evils. You're rights are protected and next time use the primary process to pick someone even better.
Lol. What planet do you live on?
