New trolly problem just hit!
We should probably frame all of lifes choices as trolley problem models. Speaking of which I'd like to proudly nominate now that our next president be Mr Shia Le Bouf, with carrot top as his VP. The two are obviously better than a third term for trump and couchfucker Vance, and we have to think of harm reduction. Do you want Shia or Trump?
If 75 million people are pulling the lever towards Shia, 75 million people are pulling the lever towards Trump, and 2 million are trying to divert it to a third track, then I'm helping pull it towards Shia
Just brake
"Sorry, but your brake subscription has expired."
Also, that would require a Tesla's systems to function, which is not a guarantee.
trolley problem says there is never any sort of third choice. You have to hit one. Which is why it works so well in political discusisons. Politics becomes not the 'art of the possible', but the art of holding your nose and doing what you are effing told.
So we are hitting the old lady then, right?
It's not about "doing what you are effing told," it's about taking the action that will most likely lead to the least harm. Like, the resurrected corpse of Karl Marx would obviously make for a better president than either the resurrected corpse of Adolf Hitler or the resurrected corpse of George Washington, but if Zombie Hitler is anticipating 75 million votes, Zombie Washington is anticipating 75 million votes, and Zombie Marx is anticipating 2 million votes, you would be a fool to vote Zombie Marx
I think you massively discount the harm caused by allowing any zionist to win. What we need to tell our party leadership -- at all costs-- is if they push a zionist on us they cant win.
You get what you demand and you encourage what you tolerate. We cant tolerate genocide support within our own party as some sort of political calculation.
Again, if 150,000,000 people are voting for a zionist anyway, then voting for the non-zionist doesn't help anyone. The best you can hope for is the slightly less harmful zionist. The only way you can not allow any zionist to win is if you do something really cool that I'm not allowed to recommend
You must understand that the average american likes Israel, and so any party that stops supporting israel may gain your vote, but they will lose many more
