    You fundamentally misunderstand why I used to care and now don’t. I don’t believe in virtue ethics, I don’t even believe in free will.

    Before it mattered if they won because it’d (maybe) prevent doom. Now I don’t see a way out. Its consequences that matter and we’re now signed up for the worst consequences regardless.

      Gosh, that might be kinda the way some people felt when they thought they voted in the good guys and ended up getting a genocide. Some people see Palestinians as human beings who should count in that equation.

        Human beings are dying everyday in horribly unjust ways, not just Palestinians, and Palestinians are going to be worse off under Trump. If you disagree with the latter point you are delusional and we don’t need to talk anymore.

        I wanted to minimize death and suffering. Harris objectively would have caused less than Trump. That’s it.

          No kidding, and you said you gave up on all of them. As soon as it gets a little tough in your neck of the woods you rolled over.
