I don’t understand how it’s not a moral or ethical thing. Morals and ethics literally define which policy you vote for and mathematically helping or being neutral to the side you know will do things worse for your morals I feel like is pretty directly connected.
Don’t get me wrong, I sympathize. My preferred candidate has done some bad things but it’s not even close to how bad the other candidate is. If the two candidates were Hitler and mecha Hitler like I’m not gonna be happy but I’m voting for the less bad of the two. Third parties are just not mathematically viable
Also vote shaming is like peak democracy. You have a right to disagree with me and vote however you like. I’m not trying to take that away from people voting third party but I also have a right to complain about it
Ethics and morals are a murky thing. Simon de Beauvoir wrote a whole book called The Ethics of Ambiguity on it and everything. Wouldn’t it also be unethical for me to vote against my own conscious?
I meant that pointing out that you’re helping the person you don’t like isn’t a judgment call or an insult or anything. It’s just describing the mechanics of the system, whether you prefer the good guy or the bad guy.
Your actual vote choice is chock full of morals and ethics though!
