I'm candidate C.
I don't think you're following.
Ok. And we've talked about this before. In my opinion, ANY vote that is not for dime-store-Hitler's
true opponent - whether or not the vote would have any chance of being outcome-determinative - implies at least SOME degree of tolerance for evangelical Christian-adjacent authoritarianism.*
I don't value this absolutist extremist opinion on someone not voting at all.
It's very close to what, a false dichotomy fallacy?
Or is it an equivocal fallacy?
It's one of 'dem fallacies.
And it's worthless.
( it's very similar to - hey, if you don't want college players getting paid, well, you're racist and support slavery - it's very JFish at his most pretentious )
There is absolutely NO degree of tolerance for authoritarianism.
Again, it's like getting an option for a dinner party for dry chicken or burnt to a crisp steak.
Dry chicken would be better but I don't want either. Because I chose neither does not mean I like burnt to a crisp steak. I look at the options and go, both suck, and as protest, i'm not choosing either.
I want a better system.
This is one of my ways ( albeit small but JUST AS SMALL AS ONE INDIVIDUAL VOTE FOR ONE OF THE TWO SHITTY CANDIDATES IN A STATE ) of stating so.
