Organize. Build a coalition. Those are great things to do to oppose the regime.

Voting third party or not voting aren’t opposing the regime. They’re telling the regime “I don’t care whether you’re a little bit evil or very evil.” Harm reduction comes by voting for the lesser evil in the ballot box. Opposing the regime comes in actually building a coalition for less evil, not advocating for actions that’ll make the more evil option more likely.

Genocide and harm reduction do not belong in the same sentence.

Genocide is binary.

I’m not sure we’re ever going to agree if you don’t think that more people being murdered is worse.

And I’m not sure I’ll ever agree with someone that is willing to overlook their ally committing genocide in the forlorn hope that that ally won’t target the group you identify with.

You’re not minimizing murder.

You’re just trying to placate the murderer.
