Telling someone to vote for the lesser of two evils among two genocidal monsters is like taking a vegan to a burger place and saying they should just get a burger without cheese instead of with it
I got another one where that came from: Maybe the burger is actually secretly vegan, but they're just not advertising it that way because they don't want to turn off meat eaters.
I thought about this example but I really wanted to emphasize the similarity of the options. That said, if you go by what people actually say to vegans this is probably more accurate.
One of my favourite r/enlightenedcentrism posts was when someone shared a burger paddy that was 50% TVP and 50% beef, and then centrists came out of the woodwork to say things like "well it would reduce meat consumption by 50%" etc
Look, just get the hamburger without the cheese. Getting anything other than a hamburger is the same as getting a cheeseburger. This is literally the most important decision since we came here last time, when you also had to get a hamburger. And the time before, when you ordered the hamburger like you were told but still got stuck with the cheeseburger
im generally the asshole who wants the proper thing placed in the proper com, and following the rules in order to improve the site. (its why i hate dredgetank for existing)
more posting in c/vegan would encourage further activity in different communities besides everyone just using c/chapo as basically the new c/main
the vegan comm has banned a lot of people who regularly post on this site, as they have a strict "non-vegans not allowed" posting policy. Definitely caught me off guard when it happened to me, particularly because I wasn't arguing with anyone, but instead getting an in-depth explainer on the vegan perspective on work-animals
