Except your moral obligations are actually worse than those of us that will vote Biden because you stand by and do nothing while someone worse will be voted in, and then use that power to do even more evil things. Even for the people you're holding your moral obligations for.
One such method is threatening not to vote for him unless he changes his stance, seems to me that's one of the few things that could change his mind, one of our most powerful tools as individuals and as a collective. As long as you don't actually vote for Trump or sit out, it seems like that's the moral thing to do.
that is a hot take, this whole thing with these people would be alleviated with ranked choice voting. But that makes to much sense.
He's always been crazy but the mainstream GOP is becoming so batshit insane that he's starting to look normal in comparison
Which is scary
Chainsaw man kills the babies. Fortune's loved ones, and then Fortune. I choose not to shoot the Chainsaw man because my morals dictate "Thou shall not kill".
I'm a good person because I'm a pacifist.
The fuck do you want us to do about that here?
Thats the one thing I hate about being a liberal.
Our party is just a snake eating its own tail.
Meanwhile republicans are operating off a playbook, project 2025
"I care about Gaza, so I'm gonna let Trump win and fuck them over harder. Also, fuck America and everyone in it. PS I care about everyone and want no one hurt."
You left off the best part -- "I will broadcast my wonderful attitude online, and get all pissy when called out on it."
Making decent decisions 4 and 8 years ago do not absolve you of not doing the same thing this year. I held the door open for someone this morning, doesn't mean I get to punch someone in the face tonight.
You are either against the rise in fascism, or you are complacent and culpable.
Personally I see my vote as being for harm minimization and not my enthusiastic support for a candidate, but not everyone does and a lot of people itt seem to be thinking that the trolley problem has been "morally decided".
I don't want your goddamn vote. I want you to shut up about not voting to reduce the amount of defeatist GOP-serving drivel out there.
FortuneCookie, I just want to say that I, as a brown/Muslim person, absolutely do not believe you care a single iota about Gaza. So please, shut the fuck up.
Drink Pepsi. It's not as tasty as Coke, but it's a lot better than rape.
"I don't care enough to vote, but you can be sure I care enough to explain at length why I don't care enough to vote."
- An intelligent person (?)
No baby. It's just you.
But I'm a pacifist. So I'll let the Chainsaw man kill you. Is that okay?
You're willing to let the world die in order to maintain your moral code.
That isn't a virtue. Quite the opposite in fact.
Say you're tied up in a chair. Someone is slowly approaching you with a Chainsaw with the intention of brutally murdering you.
I'm also in the room. I have a gun and can shoot the man with the Chainsaw dead no problem.
Should I save you? Yes or no?
Let's do some math here, shall we?
I said this before and it was ignored. I also guarantee I've fought harder against fascism, genocide, and the loss of rights than you ever have and will.
But you'll also do literally nothing to prevent it so the result is the same either way.
But you'll let it outrank LGBT humans?
Help me out of here brother. Also, safe to say that's a "no" then? Killing of puppies isn't a place where you can draw a line?
Cool.

@FortuneCookie
How's that for motivation? Conservative VP hopeful shot and killed a puppy because she didn't think she could re-home it. Or is literal puppy slaughter not enough motivation?
Help me out here because if voting against fascism isn't enough maybe we can play to your empathy with pets
Already am.
Not sure how you define borrow/stealing, but my work is influenced by Wheel of Time, LotR, and Avatar tla.
Miguel Cervantes
Stuff is so old maybe i would be lucky that no one would recognize if I changed a many things about his works, making them what ifs and stuff like that
Also because Don Quixote is one of my favorite pieces of literature
I am making a satirical novel of a notorious property known for its cruelty and all I say is I got the idea to turn that hellish experience into a heavenly one and ran with it.
You need to learn what words mean. And setting cities on fire could easily result in loss of life.
I don't disagree that cops suck, but your morality seems fairly situational.
Probably.
They didn't even strictly want us, we were a package deal with a larger company that they also absorbed and probably wrung dry.
Ancient heritage. Because you cant steal your own culture.
I would simply invent my own work without lifting from any of the media I've encountered and consumed over the course of my life.
Oh, but unfortunately by not voting you're absolutely doing nothing to prevent the genocides to come.
Nothing was stopped by a fence sitter.
You have a citizen's responsibility, and one of those responsibilities is making sure the leader you have a decision over isn't the worst.
FortuneCookie is the raindrop who insists holds no responsibility for the flood.
I can't tell you anything at all.
You've already decided to use your martyr complex to make millions of actual martyrs.
That's just being bad at math.
Strange response considering you just mentioned rioting and burning down cities in another topic, which would most likely lead to death(s).
I didn't call you a murderer. I said you are complicit to the outcome and you are.
Why do people keep saying this? Kong literally turned Godzilla into a side character of his own universe. And the fights they had with each other were very careful to make sure neither one of them came out as clearly superior. They powered Kong way up to even be anywhere close to Godzilla who should have been able to blast his ass six ways to sundown.
No, you're exactly the same as the guy in this topic proudly doing it because he'll be safe, you've just found a way to be self-righteous about it.
By not voting or voting for Trump you are complicit to the outcome.
