I don't get the point of these arguments. It comes down to funamentally different moral apparatuses. Some believe in taking greater good/necessary evil action to minimize harm while others feel one shouldn't endorse any harm at all (regardless of how much damage occurs in the absence of their participation). It's basically a choice between a better world and personal innocence. I don't really see a way to reconcile these views.
The people getting arrested for protesting, getting killed for being an aid worker, theyre acting to make the world better, arguably more than I am with my 1 vote against Trump. I wish I could convince them to vote for Biden but I dont fault them for not.
The people sitting at home like me that also dont want to vote for Biden, they dont have personal innocence. Doing nothing while people suffer is its own form of immorality. The good men that did nothing arent good men.
