"Sure, I could have voted against murdering everyone in the bus, but I'm only one person, so what's the point?" isn't exactly the position I would expect. Or, for that matter, respect.
Was this responding to my comment because I don't see any logical connection?
Hardly surprising
The analogy is of stopping a vehicle by hitting the brakes.
You object that one individual has all the control in the situation.
I point out that if it the brakes were only hit by a vote of everyone in the vehicle, it wouldn't be less vile to abstain from voting than it would be to abstain from hitting the fucking brakes.
I object that you oversimplify to gross misrepresentation.
