Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) shares his message to voters in the Uncommitted Movement who are considering not voting in the presidential race over the Biden administration's handling of Israel.
Here’s the reality; we’re all playing the trolley problem
I’m not, because the trolley problem is a simplistic consequentialist fairy tale that doesn’t exist in the real world.
In the trolley problem, you must choose in a way which allows death, because some sinister outside force has created reality in which you are the only person that can intervene in a situation in which one or more must die.
In the real world, you can choose to not kill.
I live in the real world.
If you know that by not voting you’re killing more people then you can’t claim you’re not responsible for their deaths.
I refuse to vote in a way which condones killing innocent people. To condone killing innocent people is against my moral standards.
Choosing to let more people die now is a protest but you have blood on your hands.
No, I do not. It is the people who carry out murders who have blood on their hands. There is no trolley, there is no trolley problem, and I am not in control of any level on any tracks. You invent those tracks in order to trap yourself into accept the status quo.
I do not accept the status quo. You and your descendants may enjoy it, instead. I hope you do not find out what it is like to be amongst the innocent who have to be killed because someone else has fantasised a trolley that must run you over.
This is word for word from what I remember that some tankie said about a month ago.
I bet it wasn’t, though, but thanks anyway! You’re probably just upset that one of your most recent posts references the trolley problem, and you can tell that I don’t respect your lack of interesting or independent thought on the matter. Bye, and enjoy arguing that killing innocent people is in some way acceptable, because you construct hypothetical situations which demand it!
I also won’t ask you to prove that my post is word-for-word the same as anything else. We’re all on the internet, so we can surely check ourselves. But thank you for lying to me in order to show me that you don’t argue in good faith!

I actually checked the date to make sure I wasn’t reading an old post.
Thanks for giving me enough evidence to block you.
No problem!
