Interesting... but the ice cream is supporting genocide. Some would rather die than vote for that. And I guess it could be argued that at least the people dieing by going over the cliff had a chance to vote. The ones dieing from genocide didn't.
A vote is not an endorsement, it's a move.
More people need to understand this, I think.
One video of a red voter had him expressing regret for his vote. In one expression he said "I guess I'm democrat now" with the same distaste as someone saying "guess I eat dogs now".
I don't think he'd have as much hesitation changing a vote in the future if he didn't feel like doing so makes him into a monster he helped to paint.
How are we at a point in time where adults need this explained to them..
Indeed, "word up." Although, the voting machines received upgrades and who knows what really occurred.
Meanwhile, the people who want ice cream:
I keep being told I'm a fascist for voting for the harm reduction by people on lemmy though.
"I voted for the cliff because I know the ice cream place is down below it and I wanted to get there faster." - Have to assume this person exists, but I'm not sure who they would be in the analogy. 🤔
Edit: Oh, I just had to scroll down a few more comments to find them.
I think like seven people on the bus would fight to swerve towards the cliff if they were told China is on the edge of it.
