    It’s almost like being a single issue voter is moronic.

    Not killing innocent people is a pretty good single issue, though.

      No, it’s an absolutely shitty, irrelevant single issue when there are only two viable candidates and they take similar positions on it.

        Me: “Not killing innocent people is a pretty good single issue, though.”

        You: “No, it’s an absolutely shitty, irrelevant single issue…”

        Okay. I will stop expecting humans to treat other humans with decency. After all, we can’t expect innocent people not to be oppressed and exploited. Frankly, I only get cheap technology because of slave labour, so therefore I have to not care about humans. At least I’m doing well, living in a country with a generally higher standard of living.

        Thanks for setting my mind at ease. I will swap my moral expectations for being complacent. That will make the world better, because - as we know - the human drive for profit is not in any way creating outcomes that are bad for the world.

        If it turns out I’m lying to myself I can just end my life. For, after all, life is not an important issue. Easy come, easy go.

          It’s an absolutely shitty, irrelevant single issue IN THIS ELECTION because there’s no meaningful difference between the two candidates on it. (Actually, there is a meaningful difference but the trolls are trying to propagandize against the candidate that’s less bad on it, so clearly they don’t actually give a flying fuck about the thing they dishonestly claim to care about.)

          But you damn well already fucking knew that, so quit your bullshit strawmanning.
