Voting for a party I don't want is also suffering, though I doubt you'd believe that. Keeping the main parties in power via a rigged system ain't ending this catch 22 cycle.
I don't know who's worse, the person making people suffer or the person who could have prevented it doing nothing out of principle?
Because that's exactly what people are doing by letting the right win by refusing to be strategic. Your opponent will 100% act strategically.
It is my hope that greater political diversity will prevent more suffering in the long run by governments better representing the people.
It's very comfortable to blame others if your political opponents get into power. If you don't have another suggestion I can at least leave you with the small comfort that this bad person won't vote for the main party you dislike the most out of spite.
Ok so let people suffer now to prevent suffering in the future?
How many people?
For how long in the future are we looking?
You think as an opponent to Le Pen you're not one of those who will suffer?
I'm starting to believe that the Russian trolls are now focusing on the French election.
Tu parles français au moins?
Lucky for you I'm not French. I just oppose tactical voting in favor of voting in someone who may have a chance of removing the need for tactical voting.
I don't know how long it will take and I don't know which paths actually leads to the least amount of suffered in the short term. I just know it needs to change.
Have fun dealing with your fascist government, I hope you'll remember these comments while you're being repressed.
