You do realize this is exactly the kind of melodramatic over-the-top garbage that puts people off wanting to engage with politics in the first place, yeah?

"How dare you be such a jerk? Guess I have no choice but to make innocent people suffer over it. That'll show you!"

Incredible, it’s like a constant stream of disingenuous mischaracterisation. You’re proving my point far more than you’re dispelling it.

I mean, I'm over it. Do what you feel like. It's clear whatever the future is, this argument we're having now? Has no part in it. Vote or don't vote for whoever you want. Feel or don't feel guilt. I don't particularly care about the details of how you see it. The time when it might have mattered either way? Is over. Sure, maybe pre-election it was like trying to convince you not to kill the hostage - but the hostage is dead now. Not arguing that battle anymore. It's irrelevant. You do whatever it is you like, but I'm never, ever, ever going to see the action in any other way, and at this point there's absolutely ZERO point in discussing otherwise. It's all academic. The trolley problem stops being a moral quandry when everyone is dead already. If you feel good? Great! You get my unironic and genuine thumbs up. Live your best life, my friend.

Sorry, I understand my death and the deaths of millions of other people are too 'melodramatic' for the tastes of middle-class suburbanites for whom politics is a species of sport.

Yeah keep ranting and accusing people of mass murder for not voting for your guy, that’ll win us over

If only the Dem circus was more entertaining, then you could've been convinced to vote against the slaughter of disadvantaged groups by literal fascists. But it wasn't entertaining enough, so the lives of marginalized groups was a price you were willing to pay to give the Dems a 'thumbs-down'.
