  This argument would hold water if your wing of the party hadn’t tied the one guy to the tracks in the first place and didn’t have it in their power at the time to untie him. In any event, centrists blame anyone with even the slightest criticism of their beloved genocide regardless of how they actually voted.

    Everyone I disagree with loves genocide.

      The context here is genocide and centrists’ refusal to abandon it.

        Which centrists? You direct that at everyone who is, and who you think is, a “centrist”, without defining a set of positions you believe they have. Why are they all a genocide supporting monolith? Or are you taking people and assuming many things about them like another group tends to towards specific races?

        Define, dont attack. Debate over argument. Conversation over debate. No reason to wreck your position with exaggerated responses and statements. The world isnt a strawman, my dude.

  The trolley problem is used to pretend harm reduction works, but if you extend the image, you’ll find all the ones tied on the bottom rail will be moved to the top rail, just spaced out so that one side can pretend they’re slightly better, even though they’ll end up killing the same people anyway. If you think it’s acceptable to let “the good guys” carry out a genocide, then you’ll find anything acceptable. Keep sacrificing one group after the other as you justify your harm reduction scheme.

  “First they came for[…]” I’ll let you figure out the rest.

  Save it for the general election, not the primary where it isn’t applicable.

  I wish I could upvote this twice.

  I wish even more that the people who think like this could look at this and understand it. Too much critical thinking required. That or they’re just garbage people who want it exactly their way and are willing to burn it all down if they don’t get it.

    The thing that really frustrates me is the entitlement of people thinking that both sides are the same, blah blah blah while meanwhile immigrants, LGBTQ people, Iranians, etc. etc. suffer because perfect is the enemy of better in their minds. The comic is unrealistic because typically the person watches the carnage smugly, claiming that it would have been just as bad if the Democrats were in power.
