    I’m talking about voting for the less shit candidate while you’re working to do away with the current system. That’s commonly called harm or damage reduction.

    Do you understand what it means to do damage reduction?

      Harm reductions lead to fascism, time immemorial.
      Doing away with that system that leads to fascism is true harm elimination. We want cures, not symptom relief.

        In what way would voting for the less shit candida, while you do your other things too, lead to fascism?

        I don’t understand the logic. Do you understand I’m saying voting for the lesser candidate to slow the movement to fascism while you also do your other things?

          In what way would voting for the less shit candida, while you do your other things too, lead to fascism?

          Concessions to power. If electoralist would cease giving representatives arms, and the right to monopolize power, brownshirts would never consolidate enough power to ever be a threat to people. Yet people keep conceding that power over, over, over, over again.

          Aren’t you tired of monopolists in power?

          while you also do your other things?

          Elaborate what those things are. Because the last person I talked🧵 evaded mentioning the exact first step to antifascism. I am extremely aware of all the steps to antifa actions, but every other electoralist I’ve talked to refuses to respond this, precisely because of the above.

            You think by doing all you’re doing now and voting for a candidate that’s less shitty you’re doing more to get fascist in power than if you hadn’t voted for the less shit candidate (and by that helping the shittier one)?

            I don’t understand the logic

              Maybe you need to think from the ground up.

              • Do these electors have the monopoly on power?
              • Can they take your arms away?
              • Are you even allowed to have arms?
              • Are they immune?

              You avoided mentioning the first step to antifaacts. ⚾💨➡️🏏1.

                I think you’re confusing things. The voting for the lesser evil while you’re trying to do away with the system is a discussion within a system where elections are happening right now. It’s not proposing for that system. Do you know what I mean?

                    Every time a system has been taken down where they allowed for democratic participation there’s been people voting and trying to take down the system

                    I don’t se what the harm would be in also voting tbh. It’s not like it prevents you from doing whatever else
