    When something is wrong, taking a stand against it isn’t only about it being effective. It’s about showing publicly that something is wrong.

    I don’t kidnap people and force them to live in my compost bin. When I hear of others acting in this way, I condemn it. Me not doing this does not effectively stop others from doing it. But I still do it, as it is my moral duty.

    I believe that killing innocent people by bombing schools and hospitals is at least as bad as the action I just described.

      Hard agree, but that doesn’t change the fact that voting for Harris is a better choice that either voting for Trump or not voting at all.
