The problem with not picking the lesser of two evils is that you end up with the greater of two evils. Wishing for a magical third choice doesn’t make it happen. Hopefully all the same people will be writing to their MP and demanding that voting reform is passed. Right? Yes? Oh.

You know, for all the support that has been thrown behind the lesser evil, the greater evil seems to be doing pretty fucking well regardless

On immigrants Labour says they want to drive down numbers more than the Tories. On trans people they reach out to JK Rowling to comfort her and welcomed eradicating trans youth healthcare. "Lesser evil" for who, exactly? Just you and yours?

Yeah Gav, once Sir Kier has a massive majority handed to him by the likes of you to do whatever the fuck he wants I'm sure he'll be open to a reform that actively reduces his level of power

What will you personally be doing to hold the Labour government to account after handing them a majority and a mandate to make the lives of trans people, migrants and disabled people worse?

Did you know, other party's candidates actually win if people vote for them. I'm not gonna vote for a party which is dedicated to making my life worse, whose leader has been proudly declaring it at every opportunity for the past 2 weeks.

people keep saying things like this and i genuinely do not see how you can consider labour under starmer to be a 'lesser' evil. he still wants to deport people, still wants to oppress trans people, still wants to hack up the welfare state and sell it off. it's just a team colour thing at this point

and the obvious flip-side is picking the lesser of two evils means you still get evil - and you're complicit. right now the Labour PLP have exactly what they want. why would they put through any other voting system?

Labour are not the lesser of two evils. They and the Tories are two different faces of the same evil Westminster machine that has driven the Overton window to the far right. People do not have to vote for either even with FPTP.

Keir is anti-LGBTQ+, progressives, environment and the Left but pro-war machine and right-wing media plus bigots, his party shoulda kicked out the lying perfomative hypocrite, he praised a church into the torture and abuse of LGBTQ+

The "lesser of two evils" has been actively helping trump win for months now. Electoralism has never looked more pathetic. Also, democrats don't want voter reform, you can't get them by simply askimg nicely. It has never worked that way with this country.
