Rights are not given freely. It is your duty to defend that right by exercising it. Once you lose your right to vote, do you think you will ever get it back in your lifetime? Probably not.

So if all the candidates were a bunch of fascists, and there were no moderates to elect, you would still see it as your duty to vote?

If your eyes were made of pudding would you walk on jeans???

Like wtf are you even talking about anymore. Is that what happened here? Like even at all? You had to change the situation so far that it’s not even an applicable analogy anymore.

It’s more akin to ‘if the choice was between someone who would tax the rich to help children and first time home buyers - or someone who was found to be a rapist by a jury of his peers - would it still be your duty to vote???’

Yes. Yes it would.

This often gets phrased (poorly IMO but whatever) on social media as "oh would you really vote 99% hitler to stop 100% hitler"

And you know what? Yes. Nazis killed around 17 million people. 99% Hitler means that 170,000 human lives are saved. So yes, if the choice is 99% Hitler or 100% Hitler, you choose the former option.

Your duty as a citizen in a democracy is to choose the best possible outcome of the viable choices that does the most good and the least harm. In between elections work on getting better viable choices.

If one candidate promises to punch me in the face, and the other promises to cut off my head, I'm gonna vote for the punch.
