  • Yes.

    Look, we had pretty much a textbook trolley problem where it was objectively correct* to pick the track with fewer casualties. But now that the train has gone, we need to lay responsibility squarely with those who tied the casualties to the tracks in the first place.

    (*One reason for choosing the other track was to give the democrats their own trolley problem, choosing between getting elected or leaving casualties on their track. And they chose the latter. Now we’re seeing more progressive candidates emerge so arguably it worked. Was it worth the cost? That’s harder to decide since we’d have to estimate the long term costs of a hypothetical scenario.)

    But regardless of what the objectively correct choice was, belittling those who disagreed by trivialising their reasons or absolving the architects of the dilemma of responsibility is just wrong.



  • I guarantee you’re wrong about how I voted. And why are you moving the goal posts? Harris stated clearly that she wouldn’t change anything when dealing with Israel and she wanted to make Israel the most violent army in the world, so it’s very likely that the situation in Gaza and Lebanon would be very similar. It was already a disaster when Biden was president.

    You didn’t answer my first point at all.

    And your list still pales in comparison to what Israel had already done by that point.

    Of course Trump is far worse, I’ve never said otherwise. At least you agree that Kamala was wrong to supporting Israel, which is very different than your original post.

    So she had to support genocide because otherwise people like me would have found some other way to attack her? Do you have any basis for that assertion? Again, you don’t know how I voted.

    I only posted because your post shows you think thousands of dead children is trivial compared to Trump putting his name on a monument.

    And what are you claiming that Trump done at that point that was beyond that Israel?

    Who said anything about “going hard against Israel”? And it’s not like there’s a report that contradicts your claim, right?

    You have no idea how I voted. Op suggested that people didn’t vote for her for trivial reasons, which trivialises the real documented reason of expressly supporting a genocide.
