DES MOINES, IA — Jessica Djukanovic, a conservative wrestling coach, mother of four, and loyal voter for the “Traditional Values and Strict Legislation Party,” is reportedly “shocked and appalled” to discover that the very laws she helped implement are currently treating her life as a secondary concern to a non-viable fetus.

There is a huge difference between voting for a party that fails to be ~~better~~ less awful than another party in one single place (not even being worse!) because they are the only alternative, not because you have any love left for them on the one hand and campaigning for awful policies on the other!

One is a form of harm reduction, the other is a form of actively trying to harm people and that you pretend to not understand that makes me seriously question your motive.

Especially since there was not a single party running that was remotely decent, even if we look into the fringes. The American greens had kinda somewhat a not completely wrong take on Palestine (maybe), but were dogshit about Ukraine, because they were bought out by another imperialist mass murdering regime.
