And I’m being serious. I feel like there might be an argument there, I just don’t understand it. Can someone please “steelman” that argument for me?

    Which do you choose: genocide or WORSE genocide? You have to pick one. Not picking either gets you the latter by default. Make a choice.

      Turns out there are stupid questions.

        It’s a stupid question. But that’s the reality. So genocide or worse genocide? If you say neither, it’s probably going to be worse genocide.

          Some people really don’t grasp the concept of the trolley problem.

          A train is headed towards 5 people, you can pull a lever and switch tracks to kill 1 person. What do you do?

            People who think the trolley problem has a clear cut solution that we have to “get” are on the starting edge of the Dunning-Kruger curve.

          What group of people could Democrats kill that would leave you unable to support either party? Clearly, it’s not Arabs.

            More people than the Republicans would. And then I would vote Republican. Because that’s the choice on election day.

            Edit: if all you’re doing is not voting, you do nothing to help anyone. If you are actually helping in meaningful ways, then voting to pick the easier opponent does not undermine your work.

              There’s absolutely no logical reason to believe that. Democrats have escalated war on three fronts with nuclear armed superpowers, and armed a genocide.

                There are the words straight out of Trump’s mouth. If you believe that Democrats will kill more people than Republicans, that’s a completely different conversation. Though it still mostly boils down to: genocide or worse genocide, pick one, and if you don’t pick, you’re likely to get worse genocide.

                  You believe the only options are versions of genocide, because you are in a MAGA death cult.

                    What’s the other outcome of the US election?
