MODERATORS
Some people think the trolley problem is just a funny template.
Some people think it's the height of political thought and a sufficient salve for supporting genocide.
Was that why people couldn't vote for Hillary?
Or Kerry?
Or Gore?
It's always something with people's excuses for letting things get worse and feeling smug about it. This is worse than usual - but the system hasn't changed, and your inaction still makes things worse. Y'think open American fascism is gonna make anything better?
Gore won the popular vote and the electoral college. Kerry wasn't voted for because more than 80% of democrats fully supported the w bush admin.
Clinton was a genocidal monster, as she has always been.
We e had open American fascism since the 1980s, we just invested tens of billions into things like project mockingbird to eliminate realization amongst most the population.
Your questions don't make sense.
Do you think that the people overinvested in trolley problem electoral logic vote shaming are the ones that didn't vote for Hillary? You seem to be confused about who gets gung-ho about that kind of stuff.
I get the sense that you were just searching for phrases you feel comfortable with but didn't know how to put them together in any kind of coherent way.
