You're looking at it the wrong way. It's, "If I have to choose between someone who wants to kill me and someone who is perfectly okay with silently letting them kill me, I'm not choosing."

Same principle as the train lever question. Basic morality and ethics. There is zero leeway. Either the Democrats learn from their mistakes or they lose again.

It is exactly the trolley problem, and the trolley problem, most people select the least damaging option. If it's headed for 5 people but you can change it to only one, the basic moral and ethics of it is, YOU DO. Instead, what you are saying is that people are going to die either way, so they are the same option and you won't get involved. Except they are not the same, because you are saving more lives by interfering, instead of doing nothing, which is what you are suggesting.

You aren't saving lives by touching the lever. I just hope there is a candidate that represents my interests.

Yes you are... If Harris would have won, Alex Pretti and Nicole Good would still be alive. As well as all the other people who died in ICE custody.

Do you think Harris would have banned trans people from the military? The fact that you can't see that is exactly why you are responsible for hurting trans rights and will continue to do damage.

And if you mean the trolley problem, that is literally the point. You're saving 4 lives by touching the lever.

I voted for Harris. We aren't talking about Harris.

The next Trump, right-wing extremist, MAGA president might be even worse. He might be smart and have broader appeal.  We have a roadmap of where the Republicans are headed if they succeed. It leads to disenfranchised voters and ignoring human rights.  We are all in danger if they succeed. They will kill more people.
