So why did I tell people that voting for the less genocidal of the only two realistic candidates was necessary?

Because I thought more support for genocide was a bad thing. Something you don't agree with, I know.

The election is over and you're still carrying water.

"Carrying water" here meaning "Defending the choice of harm reduction."

I get it already, you don't think that reducing harm is worthwhile. You don't have to belabor the point.

"carrying water" here meaning defending whatever any pro-genocide centrist does.

You've always found genocide hilarious, yes.

PugJesus defending liberal capitalism and not really caring about genocide. What else, banned from blahaj.zone for transphobia?

And trying to hide behind the flimsy excuse of "harm reduction" while actually doing nothing to end the harm.

What these "lesser evil" arguments always ignore is that they never have any answer for how to actually prevent the harm from happening, just slow its pace. The end result is still that everyone ends up dead.

Harm reduction is mutual aid and community defense. Direct Action that materially changes the lives of the oppressed.
