@mister_shade02X2 Better or worse than “Mastodon user insists only hope is harm reduction by voting for slightly less facist/genocidal candidates”? #votehardercharliebrown

@pliny @benroyce It’s been my experience that the people who are claiming all existing options are bad have not been putting in the time and effort to create the additional option that they claim is vastly superior.

They’ve probably been doing nothing, while claiming to be morally superior to the existing choices. But people who are doing nothing aren’t moral at all.

And sometimes they get upset when that gets pointed out.

@mister_shade02X2 @benroyce poke one of these people and you get nothing but logical fallacies and blame-shifting psychological defence mechanisms. never a strategy, never a plan for how to bring their vision of the world into being. what baffles me is that, judging by the engagement counts on their posts, they're quite effective at infecting other minds with this empty sophistry.

It's entitlement. And there's a lot of entitled people out there

@benroyce @ignova @mister_shade02X2 Can’t vote for imperfection! = This is fine 💣🔥
