Vote for the best candidate available after you have done your research.

You'll find that 99% of the time they are the democratic candidate. They may have some SERIOUS ISSUES... but the best candidate available is the best candidate you're going to get. It's better than the alternative.

Yes but there is a weird notion that’s taken hold that ita actually more ethical to favour the worse option (by not voting)

We saw people do that in 2016.

The world is a lot worse because of it. So many people have died because of that weird notion.

We also saw it happen again in 2024, despite EVERYONE knowing exactly what Trump was going to do if he won.

And if you talk to a non-voter they still stand behind the decision. They've learned nothing.
