    I wonder - and I mean this seriouslyand not in an /s way - what happens, if you object “bOth SiDeS” with “Why not vote for Harris then?”?
    Surely you won’t convince a Trumpologist this way.
    But doesn’t that also give leeway to present voting for Harris as equally good choice in the eyes of Trumpologists?

      Option A:

      “I couldn’t possibly do even a single action that would make me even slightly complicit in the genocide from either side,” while spending all day campaigning for everyone to vote the same way as MAGAs want them to, “in fact, the Dems are so far right that they are literally indistinguishable from theocratic authoritarians promising to deliver a dictatorship.”

      Option B:

      “Well, he cannot do worse than this,” regarding a guy who blasted Yemen and wants to “finish the job” in Gaza, “and this will force the Dems to move left to get voters next election, after voting is abolished, they certainly won’t move rightward looking for people who will actually vote.”
