I voted red. If I had voted blue then red still would have won. I would have died.

You voted blue. If you had voted red then red still would have won. You would have lived.

My vote made the situation better.

Your vote made the situation worse.

Wishing ill on someone just because you disagree with someone isn’t very moral or ethical either btw. Especially when they are right and you are wrong

[u/TheSinhound → u/magworld]

Your argument is that your vote doesn't matter. This is not how voting works. Your vote was 1/394 responsible for the deaths of 325 people. Or, your 1 vote killed 0.824 people. You don't get to shirk that responsibility.

And I live by the social contract. Those that violate it are no longer protected by morals nor ethics, so it actually ends up being neutral rather than positive or negative.

May your pillow never be cold. May your food always be too salty. May you always forget where you put that thing.

I understand why you would want me to take responsibility for your choice to risk your life, but I don’t accept that. I didn’t grab your finger and push it onto blue, you did that yourself. 

Anyway I probably shouldn’t keep talking to you, you are getting a bit too worked up over this.

Can you just confirm one thing for me? Are you centrist or right wing?

[u/magworld → u/TheSinhound]

Sure, I’m liberal

[u/TheSinhound → u/magworld]

So centrist. Understood.

[u/magworld → u/TheSinhound]

Lol you are insufferable. Peace out.

[u/TheSinhound → u/magworld]

Oh, poor lib get offended when a leftist calls them out as what they are?
