      If you had the power to save only one life would you take it, or let them die because you don’t like your options?

      You aren’t as morally pure as you think. We have to do what we can with what we have.

      Now they’re all going to die.

        All that is required for evil to flourish is that good men do nothing

        You know what the lesser of two evils is?

        Evil.

            The evils are the same. There’s no lesser evil. Dead is dead is dead is dead, you fucking shitwit. You absolute twatwaffle. You self righteous piece of subhuman filth.

              🎵 Hello ad hominem, my old friend… 🎶

              And beyond virtue signaling online, you’ve done absolutely fuckall to stop it. Excellent work.

                That’s not an ad hominem. If I say your argument is wrong because you’re a piece of shit, that’s an ad hominem.

                If I point out that the kids in Gaza are dead either way, so your argument is stupid and you deserve what the republicans are gonna do to you, and that I’ll enjoy watching liberals get their comeuppance and that I hope it’s painful and prolonged, that’s not an ad hominem.

                Learn what words mean before you use them, dumbass.

                  Oh noes! An internet tough guy has noticed me! What ever shall i do?

                  Don’t you have some revolution to lead? Those genocides aren’t stopping themselves. Or, is it just a little too comfortable acting hard while furiously punishing your keyboard, Ace? Are you gonna do anything besides go downvote every comment I’ve ever made even HARDER this time? What a force of vengeance and righteous anger you are! I’m sure Palestine is breathing easy knowing they’ve got you protecting them this furiously.

                    Yeah, that’s what I thought. At least you learned something from this, although given your party, you’ll probably forget it in four years, assuming you live that long.

      Let’s put this a different way. You were given the choice of saving only one of two children from a burning building, and actively chose to let both of them burn to death, because you couldn’t save both.

      Real superhero Karen energy, right there.

        That’s not how this works. That’s called “justification”. I voted for Kamala, BTW.

        I really do believe now that the Democrats are encouraging the worst, dumbest, insane opponents hoping that they’ll find one that will finally push people to vote Democrat EVEN THOUGH they offer nothing.

          Democrats have been neoliberals since the time of the first Clinton campaign. The milquetoast candidates are a direct result of that.

          If you voted, then I’ll recind the analogy towards you. The 15 million democratic voters in 2020 that stayed home for whatever reason in 2024, still did exactly what I just portrayed. They had a choice to make, and they made the choice to do nothing, because things aren’t perfect.

            And I believe that the extra 15M votes in 2020 were an outlier (probably because of COVID) and we can’t expect to see that kind of turnout again. Not unless something incredible happens.

            And Kamala was not incredible.
