What other things have options where everything is so bad that it's a matter of "what sucks the least" rather than "what's the best"? (lemmy.ml)

I reject that framing. It's a loaded question, it's loser bullshit and I won't have it

I'm not saying vote every election. I'm saying win every election.

How do you win? Not by betting on the lesser evil. You do it by putting in the work to have a candidate you believe in. You do it by starting today, so that when the election comes your vote will not be a compromise.

You should feel proud of each and every vote. And yes, you should vote every time... But now is not the time for voting, it's time to campaign

So quit with the defeatist bullshit and pitch in. You'll feel less pessimistic when you're surrounded by winners who work for a better tomorrow
