What If Both Sides of the Lesser_Of_Two_Evils Equaton Are Unacceptable?

What If Both Sides of the Lesser_Of_Two_Evils Equaton Are Unacceptable?

May 1, 2024 (Posted by) Don Pelton

If, like me, you find yourself unable to vote — not just disinclined, but morally incapable of voting — for either genocide or fascism, then we have the same problem: what to do? Jill Stein says “vote your values, not your fear.” I’d like to do that at least once in what’s left of my life. It may help you live with whatever you decide if you at least hear one alternative, Jill Stein (in the interview below). She comes close to representing most of my values, with an emphasis on working class interests, the environment, and antiwar. If, in the end, you decide to vote your fear, then her words will at least help you imagine what the world might be like if we all voted our values. Her comments on ranked-choice voting are especially relevant.
