At 1:27 he unironically says that in a vote between Mussolini and Hitler, the best thing to do is vote Mussolini because he’s the lesser evil. A lot of mentions about how “the math is simple”. Does the canned “you’re immature for refusing to vote for a candidate that doesn’t align with 100% of your views”, but throws in a shitty little analogy about refusing to buy a car at a dealership just because it didn’t have leather seats to strawman enemies of genocide.

    participating in elections is like participating in capitalism, there is no ethical version of it so good luck with that. if you don’t live in a swing state then you can do whatever cause our electoral system blows.

      And if you live in a swing state your vote actually counts, so make it count by voting third party. The Harris campaign has made a deliberate choice to lean into support for genocide. If she wins despite that, there is no coming back. Every subsequent president will only get worse because the American people will have granted the political establishment permission to literally do anything they want on their behalf.

      And if you live in a swing state you have a moral obligation to vote against genocide (third party, or write in “Free Palestine” for President).

      A vote for the Democrats is a vote for genocide.
