Harm Reduction Discourse
- 🤝 And as an aside, I fully subscribe to the harm reduction theory when it comes to electoral politics. Of course voting for Kamala would be the better option for domestic policy The issue is that there’s something like 200 million voters out there and it’s up to the parties to convince them to vote - bsky.app
- ⚠️ Because the harm reduction equation when applied to voting is a fallacy. It’s higher risk than its wishfully thinking proponents admit (witness me voting for Biden in 2020 never assuming I would end up an accomplice in his genocide after he promised to stay out of wars in the Middle East). - bsky.app
