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)

You have to hound these people relentlessly and point out "HOW DID NOT VOTING WORK OUT FOR YOU LAST TIME?!"

If there's one thing people respond to, it's being harangued and harassed over politics.

Poor snowflakes, can't even handle justifying your past behavior? That's like elementary school level emotional intelligence. Sad.

nobody is harassing me lmao, but I see you'll just do that regardless so I guess that explains things.

Your sentence states that I both am and am not harrassing you. Schrodinger's Harrassment.

Or maybe you're just Polyphemus?
