no one fucking told me about states banning RCV during all that yapping on here about how i should VOTE THIRD PARTY OR ELSE IM COMPLICIT in the DNCs CRIMES
it may or may not be joever, very blackpilled at this moment
edit it’s actually 10 states. 5 in the past two months.
have you considered that “the end justify the means” is bad, actually, and that deontological ethics are the only way to actually be sure you are doing the right thing?
This is an acceptable position. “Even if you think murder is good in a specific case - don’t. Too many past murderers also tried to justify their acts. We humans are too good at self serving rationalization to be trusted with such things”
The problem with this, is that you can’t drag that solution to the voting issue. It works for the trolley problem because it relies on the fact that murder is a big taboo. Voting isn’t a big taboo - you don’t have a long history of “voting is bad” consensus. That idea is new, and has to stand on its own merits.
and no one is saying voting is bad. but voting for bad people definitely is bad.
Not voting is giving half a vote to the worse candidate.
you can’t give half a vote.
Let’s say Alice has a lead of one vote over Bob.
Two non-voters are equivalent to one voter switching sides. Therefore - one non-vote is equivalent to half a vote for the opponent.
you still haven’t shown how to give half a vote
I showed how not voting counts as half a vote.
but it doesn’t. it isn’t counted at all. this is mental gymnastics that leads to actual election misinformation. stop.
