Say you find yourself locked in a room with a gun, and two people tied to a chair. A voice announces that if you kill one of them, you and the other go free, if you don’t kill anyone or if you kill yourself, everyone dies.
Your solution to this, voting Harris, is trust the voice is telling the truth and figure out who is the worse person so you don’t feel as bad about being a murderer.
Their solution is not being a murderer.
Maybe the voice is telling the truth, and thus the voice will be a murderer, but they won’t be – you would be though with your choice. Maybe the voice is lying, in which case they made the right choice and you objectively made the wrong one, the worst one.
Most humans, ideally, would choose to not be murderers, even if that means a psychopath does a murder “because” you refused to.
Vague references to restrictions in place is fun. I’m sure they were very disruptive. We’ve all been talking about how much the biden admin is holding netenyahu back right?
I’m not arguing trump was not going to be awful, I’m arguing both sides would have justified genocide and murder one way or another. Open your eyes.
It’s a basic philosophical question.

This is ridiculous. The most harm-reducing outcome for actual Gazans (not to mention everyone else) is if Harris wins.
Because, either Harris will win, or Trump will win.
There is NO other possibilty and no amount pseudo-philosophy word games will change that fact.
Ive yet to hear someone explain any details about how it could be worse under trump.
Here ya go
Exactly as expected
