    Not a USAmerican, but by that logic:
    Are Kamala, her party and her supporters who couldn’t get those people to vote for Kamala also responsible for the increased suffering?

    Are they responsible for the people not being convinced that the suffering would be lesser under Kamala?

    Did Kamala and party show significant effort and good faith to woo those people?
    Or was it the 99% Hitler vs 100% Hitler thing? Asking since most online discourse I saw on it here in lemmy was like that, where they’re saying Trump would be worse, instead of saying that Kamala would be better, de-escalate stuff etc.

      Yes, they are morally culpable too. Even more so than the people who refused to vote for them.

      That’s the thing about ethics when you actually apply it in reality; someone else being wrong doesn’t mean you’re right.
