This is my response to Bernie August and any 3rd party types out there who don’t want me to vote for the “lesser of two evils” because that kind of voting is killing America.
Let’s assume you are right. So now I’m not voting for the Lesser Evil, and I’m saying that the Greater Evil is okay, at least for the time being. The Greater Evil will probably be fairly benign evil. The stuff about the Greater Evil being a great evil indeed is probably overblown. So yes..I’m ready to allow the Greater Evil to get in while the Non-Evil gathers up its strength. The Greater Evil will probably allow the Non-Evil to gather up its strength because, like I said, the Greater Evil is pretty cool after all. This all makes sense to you, right?
But wait… what if the Greater Evil isn’t benign, but is a great evil indeed. We are pretty screwed then. Because we’ve given the Greater Evil the green light. It seems risky to me to gamble on the Greater Evil being chill.
