Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this?

It doesn’t have to make sense for people to convince themselves to do it. It will certainly lead to worse outcomes for gaza

If yoor morals disregard the probable outcomes and is more focused on normative rules you could make some arguments but that kind of purity won’t save a single starving child in gaza

Maybe people believe that it will save a starving child in the future. Like, some future where politicians finally listen to them?

  So it’s the moral argument of killing kids now in the hope of making a point that might or might not affect future politicians?
