The candidate that does the least harm would probably be Cornell West or Jill Stein. voting for the senator who put in place the conditions for roe v Wade to be turned over, the senator who confirmed some of those very same justices, to be president does not reduce harm. if you won’t take it from me maybe it’ll take it from this guy

harm reduction as a specific thing. The best example of it is needle exchanges and safe injection rooms for addicts. you recognize that the bad thing is happening, and you do what you can to mitigate the harm that comes from the bad thing. The bad thing is bad people being in power. what you can do to mitigate that is engaging in mutual aid and community organizing around issues that are affecting you locally. voting for a Democrat or Republican won’t stop the bad things from happening. The Democrats have brought us to the point where Trump is seen as reasonable by half the electorate. The Democrats have shared power with the Republicans for the past hundred years as fascism has taken over the government. voting for them doesn’t reduce the harm that they cause.
edit
voting for Democrats is like giving out free Suboxone and saying at least it’s not heroin. That’s not harm reduction. harm reduction is recognizing that the addicts are going to use the substance of their choice and making that as safe as possible.
Therese kind of personal attacks have no place in this community
you asked why she was there. its state affiliation wasn’t relevant to the answer, but it is a well-known fact.
no one was hiding that
no, take 50 cents from anyone who thinks your wrong
that’s not proof: it’s innuendo
you can’t prove this, mostly because it’s not true, but partially because there isn’t any proof
those odds are way too high.
then you should take the bet.
your second link contains actual lies or facts that have changed since it’s publication.
it was the tenth anniversary of a media outlet that gave her more time than probably all American media combined. she paid her own way. it’s a nothing burger
Speaking to The Intercept in 2017, she said the notion that it was an “intimate roundtable” was “mythology,” and that Putin and his associates “weren’t at the table for very long.” Stein said that “nobody introduced anybody to anybody” and that she “didn’t hear any words exchanged between English speakers and Russians” due to the lack of a translator.
from your first link
i think i saw it was more like 1/500 so it’s more like 0.2%. at least that’s what the betting odds called for stein and west, who are the only two candidates i see that deserve my vote.
They told them not to vote for Biden, which is much the same.
no, it’s not. i expect to have at least 4 options on my ballot, possibly 5 if my donations to cornel west accomplish anything.
harm reduction is a specific strategy, and voting is not harm reduction.
