    The point is that it’s a non-sequiter. “Buh both sides.” Isn’t a sane response to “one of them is going to win anyway.”

    So what is your thought on the genocide? Seems like you can justify voting for it since “one of them is going to win anyway”?

      There is only 20 minutes of one of your days every two years when this is relevant. You have three options: vote for the worst option, vote for the second worst option (that would demonstrably spare at least some lives) or don’t vote. Notice how the “don’t vote” option doesn’t give you an outcome different from one of the other two options. In fact it indicates that you are okay if those lives aren’t spared. And in all three cases a genocide happens.

      Now, you have 364 days 23 hours and 40 minutes (x2 I guess) to make a real difference. It’s just so bizarre that this is a focus.
