Whether you like it or not, refusing to vote for “less genocide” under FPTP is a step towards “more genocide”.

I get the sentiment, nobody likes what FPTP has done for our options when voting, but refusing to play the system isn’t the grand stand you think it is.

I refuse to participate in a system that forces me to choose between two genocides. There is no victory worth giving political backing to a genocide. A system so evil cannot be redeemed.

  Not voting is still participating in the system because you live with the results, sorry mate. You don’t get to opt out then absolve yourself of guilt from the result if its the worst case.

    Oh I’ll still be guilty of paying taxes, and of not doing more, but I won’t be guilty of voting for a genocidaire. Call it a boycott, call it conscientious objection, call it whatever you want, but I won’t sign my name to a genocide.

    Taking away a vote for “less genocide” is equal to voting for more.
    
    You seem to care more about shortsighted moral grandstanding than actually giving a fuck about the body count.

  The pro-genocide party appreciates your unwillingness to push back

    The “more genocide” party appreciates your uncritical vote.
