"Harm reduction" is when you have a genocide in Palestine, a ceaseless and pointless meat grinder in Ukraine, kids in cages, expanded border walls, overturned Roe V. Wade, no pushback against anti-trans laws, immense inflation with no help, ignores a pandemic and give more money to the police.
Voting for Biden isn't harm reduction.

So you should vote for trump then. If you believe him to be the less harmful of the two options. This is me baiting you to tell me you think trump is a less harmful option. Or did you not understand what harm reduction means? Or was is just not enough people whomst harm would be reduced for you to think it's worth it? Or is the people's whos harm would be reduced not be worthy of it?

I cannot in good conscious as a cis straight man tell my non binary partner that they need to be the sacrifice to the political statement of "sticking it to the libs"

Trump is a less harmful option. Biden is funding Israel's genocide because he rabidly wants to, at least with Trump there's a chance he might bail in the middle of it just because he's bored that day and he wants to cause some drama.

I disagree with that gamble. I'm tired of fighting today. I didn't mean for this to turn into an argument. I'm going to log off and cool it. Think over what everyone has been saying.

Just wanted to put it out there that we are comrades, even after this disagreement over something we both say ultimately does nothing.
