    What is important is the next steps. It is obvious that the left will not win unless we are unified. Go volunteer, use these next four years to try to create the Democratic party you want to see. Make them reliant on your help and use that to push the items you are passionate about. Or you can sit on the outside and watch this country fall while complaining that the people who are actually doing something aren’t doing enough.

        Understandable, tbh. It is very hard to have hope after watching so many people vote against their own interests or stand by and watch this happen. I am hoping this presidency opens the eyes of Americans to how life changing voting can be.

      You do, of course, understand that presenting this as a trolley problem implies not voting is a justifiable choice?

        Yep, if you don’t have the courage to sacrifice something for a cause bigger than yourself, that is your choice. Just don’t shit on the people who are trying to push the USA in a better direction.

          Unsurprisingly, no, that’s not what the trolley problem is about.

          Yep, if you don’t have the courage to sacrifice something for a cause bigger than yourself

          For example, this is fascist retoric. If you understood the trolley problem, you might realise why.

              I know. I normally wouldn’t, but it keeps trying to lecture others on tree climbing, so I thought I could at least try and help it get the basics right.

            I hope you have a better plan for pushing the Palestine Movement than sitting on the sidelines and saying your hands are clean.
