I do agree with people voting. But the disanalogy is that in the last one both parties wanted to drive off the cliff. Neither stood against genocide.
Alright.
8 people vote to drive the bus over a cliff into a crowd of people. 6 people vote to shoot the crowd of people from the safety of the bus. 10 people choose not to vote, some because they don't want to harm the crowd of people, others because they're lazy.
It's a sour vote either way. But if the remaining people vote "Let's just get ice cream and not kill anyone", I'd find them morally in the clear, even should that vote fail.
I mean, I would presume driving off the cliff, being a self-destructive act, is a reference to fascism rather than the Palestinian genocide.
But yeah.
Either works. Fascism and genocide are basically the same thing.
Lord.
