    Nah, it’s a situation where if forced to choose between 5 people dying and 25 people dying, I’ll go with 5. Obviously, I would rather no one die, but that’s not one of the choices.

    And in this case, Americans literally did choose, electing a man who will not flinch at greatly increased deaths.

      You don’t live in a trolly meme but in a democratic country you have plenty of choices.

        I don’t know how these people came to truly believe that they can not influence any policy.

          And I don’t know how you came to this conclusion, because it certainly wasn’t with anything I wrote. Try again.

            It’s a quite simple observation that even when you dictate the terms of your own example, you have genocide as a given. That you fail to see it is nothing but expected.

              So you actually have nothing to say or any point to make then?

              Sorry, try again, but only if you’re serious. Otherwise, silence is the best gift you can give.

        We had two: Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.

        This is a fact as plain as the world is round. What are you even trying to do?

          No you had more but you are ignoring them. Also you could have do everything that people are doing right now under trump.
