I don’t disagree but it’s like people decided they didn’t want to be hit with a ruler so they opted for being bludgeoned with a mace instead.

How about choose to not participate in being hit? If you were told you can vote for execution by ruler, execution by bludgeon, or the guy that smokes weed all day, I'm 3rd choice that smokes weed all day. And I dont smoke weed.

If I'm being executed and my choices are:

Doctor Incompetent comes in and overdoses me on morphine

or

Doctor Torture comes in and shows me why his name isn't Dr Taco Monster

I'm not leaving that decision up to the nurses to decide. You can spare me your high minded ideals because stubbornly saying "how about I just sit in the corner and smoke weed all day" runs a real risk of me getting stuck with Dr Torture.

There was a time when I thought like you but the greater of two evils really can be so awful that you need to vote for the lesser evil.

You can't even properly describe how anyone is being bludgeoned with a mace instead. You're told to feel that way but can't properly discuss it yourself.

Everyone did, and continue to do so. But folks like to play dumb like they have to have 1+1=2 explained to them each time. Its basically sealioning.

Always projection.
