    The lesser of two evils argument is platonic. So it’s older than Jesus and at the same time no one has come up with anything better.

    So to me people who abstain from voting are objectively wrong.

      That is objectively wrong. It assumes that every election is independent - which they are not. The ‘lesser evil’ is to lock democrats out of power until they run non-genocidal candidates. The short term sucks, but in the long term it is much much better.
