What if 1 candidate promised to make your life significantly worse?

Isn't there any scenario where voting is justifiable on pragmatic grounds?

if this candidate is popular among my neighbours i need new neighbours, what can i say

why would you settle around a bunch of groupthink assholes who are happy to see their meek neighbours being carted off or worse, shot in their houses by swat teams?

no, if it is popular then you are living in the wrong place, you can't change the minds of the assholes who are comfortable with violence being done around them against people they have allowed themselves to be conditioned to consider as subhuman

idk what to say, if you think "but think of the children" then you are saying we need a political solution to stop criminals from being criminals

no, what we need is to either move, or if we are on safe ground, push them out

That's pretty much everywhere on Earth, there is no safe haven. Politics always naturally selects lying sociopaths.

no, really not

everywhere in the densely populated areas, which make up some 0.001% of all land

everywhere from about 100km away from these places people are a lot different, they are interdependent and conservative and often, the further out, the more they value respecting their potentially helpful and protective neighbours

Good point
