What happens in November is up to Biden – it will not be the fault of the protest voter if Trump is elected. The questions remain: does the Democratic party fear Trump as much as we do? And does it value its voters enough to shift away from an approach to the onslaught in Gaza that a majority of Democratic voters are against?

    You’re standing in a room with two levers. If you pull the left one, five people die. If you pull the right one, ten people die. If you don’t pull one, it’s random, either five or ten people die.

    So if you choose not to pull, and ten people die, would you feel guilty for the five additional people? You could have prevented their deaths.

      Don’t bother. Those kind of ppl never accept responsibility for their actions so the trolley problem is irrelevant to them.

      They’re just virtue signalling to reduce Biden s support.

      Ooh, I love thought experiments! You’re in an auditorium. There are three stages. On one stage, a man is guilotining one child every ten minutes. He cries into his handkerchief. On another stage, a man is gleefully guilotining one child every ten minutes and periodically kicking a dog. Both men get loud applause from different sides of the auditorium. On the third stage, almost completely unnoticed by the crowd, Jill Stein juggles bowling pins while tossing candy to kids. A vote will be taken to see who stays on stage.

        The train is barreling down a track with five people tied to the rails. It crushes them. You hear the screams and watch the blood spurt and then dribble. Ahead are another group of five people on the rails. You can let the train continue on its murderous path, throw a switch that will shift it onto a different track but cause another train to run over the people, or you can go call 911 because the people are going to be crushed no matter what.

        You’re really saying Trump won’t (as he has very specifically said he want to) help Israel kill even more people?

        Or hell, even kill Americans? He’s floated that idea multiple times too.

        You’re using a lot of words to cover up your central premise: when it comes to death, Biden and Trump are equally bad.

        Which is how I know you’re a fucking shill.
