I didn't make any decision at all, since I don't vote in US elections. But yeah, this is the trolley problem, and most people agree doing nothing to switch the track to the fewer people being affected is the worse option.

If you can point to an area where Kamala and the Democrats could be viewed as overall worse than Trump in a leftist's point of view, by all means, do tell.

If not, you're saying standing there and not switching the lever makes you righteous.

Which, in my opinion, is a stupid take.

Calling someon a Nazi for advocating pulling the lever, is an even more stupid take. You're high on your own righteousness.

Every time you confront someone on the right for the morality of their decisions they turn around and attack you for morality, casting it as a vice.

If you can point to an area where Kamala and the Democrats could be viewed as overall worse than Trump in a leftist’s point of view, by all means, do tell.

I don't think that's germane to the argument but I'll bite because there are plenty of examples. They deported as many migrants and asylum seekers as Trump did in their first two years in office. They were more aggressive building the wall than Trump was. They did more austerity than him. They did more carbon extraction.

Calling someon a Nazi for advocating pulling the lever, is an even more stupid take. You’re high on your own righteousness.

You gave material support to someone committing a genocide. I care that words mean things.
