      These people should get some kind of medal for their logic gymnastics

      1. Be lib, your life is consumerism
      2. Encounter people doing something to respond to a genocide
      3. ???trump?troley???bzz???election?lever??kill?one?guy???bzzzzt???responsibility??
      4. Why of course my fellow redditor, the people doing anything about this are immoral since they’re not getting their hands dirty in the voting booth, indeed

        they don’t understand that not voting is a political strategy to force democrats to actually do good things. When you think not voting is a moral failure you’re misunderstanding the fundamental philosophy of democracy (withholding your vote to ensure candidates do good things is literally the core of how democracy is supposed to work)

      so how exactly do these people justify being liberals rather than revolutionary communists then. because it sounds like they’ve come to the conclusion that negative peace is a thing but are just pretending it doesn’t apply to them

      Not pictured: the fact that there are actually 95 and 100 people on the tracks and that the Democrats helped sabotage any other tracks at every juncture.
