I think it's really hosed up and wrong to kill people except in self defense. I'm no pacifist but I don't think murdering people for your own personal gain is good.

If you voted for Hillary as New York senator in 2001, are you then 'culpable' for the Iraq War too? She wouldn't have been able to vote in support of the war if people hadn't voted for her in the first place. Where does 'culpability' begin and end? What role does one have to play regarding the start of the Iraq War to be considered responsible and not responsible? furthermore, Obdicut posted:He voted Aye on the 2004 bill for military appropriations as a rep. What does this make Bernie Sanders? Is he a bad person for helping extend the war? Where does this place him on the Moral Outrage-O-Meter?

TEAYCHES posted:fishmech, you are willfully stupid and it's immoral to suggest that being a sitting US Senator and voting for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 is somehow not a thing or not an indicator of what a dishonest cynical candidate believes. She's not responsible for the war, and doing what her constituency elected her to do is not "dishonest" or "cynical". Obdicut posted:He voted Aye on the 2004 bill for military appropriations as a rep. But you see, Bernie isn't responsible because, well, you see he just isn't cynical, ok?

New WSJ/NBC poll, covering June 14-18. Asked for overall favorability among Republican primary voters. http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/jeb-bushs-standing-improves-among-republicans-n379126 quote:Marco Rubio: 74 percent-15 percent (+59) A lot of news articles are running with headlines along the lines of "FIORINA SURGE", even though she's still near the bottom of the pack. I'm just surprised by how many people like Huckabee.

Scrub-Niggurath posted:If you don't vote for hillary in the general and Bush wins and we get Iran War 2 Electric Boogaloo, are you culpable for the war You're responsible for the vote you cast. That vote doesn't make you responsible for who ultimately gets elected, it gives you no control over their actions, it does not imbue you with responsibility for them one way or another. Voting or not voting for Obama In 08/12 doesn't somehow saddle you with a guilt-share for drone strikes or eroded civil liberties. Jeb getting elected in 2016 and dragging the US into war won't be a sin on the shoulders of people who didn't vote against him, or who didn't vote against him "correctly", and the cast votes one way or another won't give anyone the moral high ground or make any opinions they develop as a result of this theoretical warmaking more or less valid. It's a vote. You vote for what you agree with, or you vote for whatever you believe will get what you want done in what you believe is a more plausible bur indirect route, or you don't vote at all because there's nothing on the table you feel like supporting. If you vote for someone with a bad policy because of that bad policy and that bad policy bears bad fruit following their election, fine, you're culpable. If you didn't vote for them then there's no relation. Getting angry about not-votes (in any sense) after the fact is deciding that there was exactly one other world that might've been, and you know exactly what it would've been like, and you know exactly how we could've gotten there, and you know that it was better than what we got in exactly these ways. It's not a sane position. Getting angry about non-votes before the ballots are cast, that just makes you insecure. Cephalocidal fucked around with this message at 02:43 on Jun 22, 2015 |
