    Nope, voting for (supporting) a politician who commits genocide MEANS YOU SUPPORT GENOCIDE. You people stop voting for those politicians, and guess what, THEY DON’T GET INTO OFFICE, AND WE DON’T HAVE GENOCIDES.

    And enough with the trolley problem. Reality’s not a fucking trolley problem. There are millions of individuals with an infinite array of choices in front of them. You frame anything in terms of two immoral choices and you can “justify” taking the least immoral of the two, but guess what, the fucking framing isn’t correct, because there’s allllllllllllll the different paths the trolley can go down, and allllllllllllll the other people also pulling levers, and the SUM of your choices is what determines the outcome, not your individual choice alone.

      There were exactly two paths the trolley could go down as of November. You can pretend there weren’t, but the only option any individual had other than Harris or Trump was to assassinate one or both, and I’m not interested in getting iced by the SS

      Unless you think there’s some magic number of comments you can make on the internet that will somehow convince enough voters to ditch the two main parties. Of course, you would have to be incredibly naive to believe in that magic number.

        Objectively false. More than three paths literally on the ballot. Ignoring the pre-November time frame. Ignoring the possibility of write-ins. You are deliberately leaving things out in your framing - you’re lying.

          Yes, I could have voted for anyone I wanted, and there were still only two people who could possibly have been elected. Any vote for anyone other than those two literally didn’t impact the election.
