Well then I couldn’t possibly be comparing ice cream to genocide because the supposition is the belief that voting will have an effect on receiving ice cream.
I was relating how individual wants aren’t negotiated by voting using ice cream as an example. Also voting only in a presidential election is the bare minimum to participating in American democracy. To credit yourself with absolute moral authority you would have to exhaust yourself more than just doing the bare minimum.
Of course not! And it’s completely absurd to say that it is!
For any reasonable, decent person, opposition to genocide is not merely a want, but an unshakable moral foundation! Only someone truly depraved could possibly see opposition to genocide as a mere “want,” akin to a passing desire to eat ice cream!
No, I didn’t say that.

I asked if you were comparing opposition to genocide to wanting “free ice cream!” The efficacy of voting has no relevance to that question!

Hold it!
Do you consider opposition to genocide to be an “individual want?”
Do you not???
Otherwise if society has said it is OK then you wouldn’t have a problem would you?

You’re being purposefully obtuse.
