There are no ethical choices under first-past-the-post voting. We must instead make a decision that reduces the most harm.

Got a secret for you: The Democrats would run us over with a tank if it were politically convenient.

And the fascists would do it gleefully, likely finding additional ways to incorporate cruelty and torture. Anti-electoralism is statistically indistinguishable from supporting the fascists or accelerationism. Accelerationism has no hard data showing that it actually works, only that it increases suffering.

Good thing I'm not suggesting accelerationism then

If that 1% means local LGBTQ+ people not being subject to mass murder, why wouldn't you pick 99%, especially if those are the only realistic outcomes?
