If you compromise on somebody’s rights with the justification that you need to protect everybody else, where’s the line you don’t cross? Voting is mere harm reduction. Voting for a candidate doesn’t mean I agree with them or that I’m compromising on anyone’s rights – I’m just ticking the box that will cause the least near-term harm. The real decision whether to compromise or not happens in real life. In the streets, at your work or school, in your home.
