Unfortunately, there is a downside to allowing Trump to win. It's the trolly problem and yes I will help pull the lever that kills people to keep even more people from dying.

Democrats already started the second genocide in Lebanon.

And soon a war with Iran.

All the "greater evils" of Trump will have been fulfilled by democrats before Trump even become president

That is a total lie. That's a very small segment of what Trump would do, and Trump wants to accelerate that too. He also holds a lot of anti-trans positions and anti-woman positions.

Don't forget that Trump has pretty much promised to import the genocide home. It might not start off with people being gunned down in the street, but it's definitely going to make life hard-to-impossible for immigrants, LGBTQIA+ people, and everyone who's not a straight white man.

That's just the evil abroad. Trump welcomes evil right here at home.

Then it's not a single lever pull - it's a sum of lever pulls over a long time period.

I was talking to a girl in beyrut. Her family is getting bombed with white phosphorus.

It's not "even more people". That is bullcrap. You have the choice between the violence being externalized or fighting it at home. You choose the former. Fuck you.
