I find the "lesser evil" argument for voting for Biden insidious, because it leads to an obvious slippery slope.
If you're willing to vote for the candidate that's 1% less Hitler than the opposition, would you be willing to vote for someone who's 0.1% less Hitler? How about a difference of 0.01%?
You've said that we must vote for Biden even though he's supporting the Palestinian genocide, because stopping Republicans from hurting American queer people is more important; who else are you willing to throw under the bus to keep Republicans out of office?
How much evil are you willing to accept, because it's strictly "lesser"?
(This is its own post because I don't much want to pick a fight with anyone, and frankly I'll probably surrender to the cold utilitarianism next November myself. I'm just kvetching.)
