Quiet contempt, mostly. Their arguments for doing so, while passionate, simply don’t hold up under scrutiny. However, trying to talk to them about it just strengthens their resolve, so I don’t bother.
lmfao, YES. I can’t tell if you’re being intentionally myopic. For the first time in a long time we know how this is going to go. There has never been a more clear A:B case in this field. This wasn’t 2016. Dead bodies in congress and I don’t remember worrying about if my friends who are serving were going to call me from godamn greenland before Nov. Buckle up. You won. Reap the rewards.
Everyone who didn’t vote got what they asked for. There were two options. If someone thinks there’s better days ahead so be it, but what’s coming up is part of that same decision. There is no one else to blame. If the pain is worth the long term benefit, then fine, but it was an active and informed choice. The bodies that result were deemed acceptable in service of a better 2028.
Do tell… how does the meaning of the term democracy turn into an enforced choice between a mere “two options” inside your head? “Two options” that, let us not forget, share more similarities than differences and are inevitably designed to benefit the powerful elites that CURATED these choices FOR you?
Yeah… so does not… that’s the whole damn trolley problem thing… there were clear and defined outcomes for not pulling the switch. May have been justifiable, not even debating that, but you still own the choice.

And your arguments FOR participating? Will they hold up under scrutiny?

I just love baseless confidence.
Let’s be hearing them, then.
Lol!
"You won.
Lol!"

the only thing they clearly wanted was no winner
That was not an option on the table. Again, if you think it’ll lead to a better tomorrow so be it, but acknowledge the bodies paving the road.
voting makes them responsible for the bodies.
