I think that, after decades of inaction at the incremental destruction of the VRA, one has to kinda admit that Democrats really just agree with Republicans. They own the policy too now, just as with every fascist policy they spoke out against and then either did nothing to stop or actively encouraged.
I tried to understand this but I couldn’t figure out how to draw it as a trolley so I’m just gonna have to conclude you’re a bot. Or if not that a shill. Or if not that just stupid. Sorry
And it’s always the fucking trolley problem lmao. Libs can only hold like two surface level factoids about any given topic every four years or so.
Not to mention, the point about the trolley problem is how it has a million complicating factors but libs are like “no, I solved it, crank on that fuckin lever or you’re a monster tankie Chinese ruzzian bot”
Yes I have enjoyed thinking about trolley problems since like 2010 so I feel like a bit of a hipster with them. Your point is hilarious and true. The entire thing the trolley problem is supposed to illustrate is how difficult-to-impossible it is to make a decision even in the literal trolley problem situation. Its supposed to be a fun intuition pump that shows how moral decisions are not straightforward. Yet seemingly for large groups of people the takeaway is that moral decisions are extremely straightforward because you just do what you already want to do, and also you have full authorship over the situation and its outcome for some reason. Man… I never realized how ironic that is that people are getting exactly the opposite lesson out of it. Hilarious.
I’ve had people on here tell me I have blood on my hands and AM a baby murderer due to not voting Kamala. I pointed out that, just like them, I am trying to pick a lesser evil in the short term for a long term greater good, but just over a longer frame of time and a larger group of people than they took under consideration, which really means that they’re the bigger bloody handed child murderer according to their method of assigning guilt, and they’re just selfishly limiting their scope of concern to people they know here and now.
I got no response from them, and someone else just called me a stupid asshole. 🤷
Honest take - if the Democrats are in agreement with Republicans about these kinds of rulings, then they are complicit with the slow-burn death of their own party, no? Some of them could be considered political double-agents in a sense, if that is true.

Exactly - the claims of “harm reduction” make people feel smart, but ignore opportunity cost and that there’s elections in the future as well.

Like usual with liberals, they’d prefer losing to fascists than seeing the left defeat fascists
Yeah but why though
because they agree more with the fascists
Well, Fascism is a suicidal ideology, after all…
