      Given that you can act (in this case vote), your hands are more dirty permitting the worse evil to win through inaction.

      You don’t get to clean your hands of things when you have the power to act to effect the outcome.

      So saying “People voted for evil” is a selective self-benefiting myopia. Vote abstainers are not virtuous, they are a narcissists.

      “I would proudly vote for Hitler if slightly to the right of Hitler was on the ballot”. Good fucking job, you’re voting for Hitler. If you vote for Hitler you also deserve slightly to the right of Hitler.

      And people who didn’t vote for the lesser evil could have helped avoid the greater evil, but chose not to.
