Cw: anti-veganism, implied torture.

"For dinner you can pick between overcooked turkey, or a bowl aged horse urine, children’s fingers, and broken glass. You have to eat one of them.”
“Neither option is vegan and the turkey is dry, so it doesn’t matter which one I eat .”
Huh? If you’re vegan then both of those options are equally disgusting to you and you’d probably choose to skip this meal
One of those is clearly worse than the other. Yeah - neither is a vegan option, but they’re the only choices. That means that whether or not they’re vegan doesn’t matter.
The last part of the prompt is that you have to eat one of them. Because that’s what a general election is. You’ll end up having one of those meals going down your throat no matter what. Refusing to choose is essentially choosing cannibalism and eating broken glass.
Deciding not to vote because one issue you care about isn’t on the ballot is choosing to let the world burn. The world has a lot of problems, and ignoring them all in order to continue not fixing one is idiotic
It's incredible levels of telling on yourself to say that you live in a superior society because you have individual liberties and a say in your government and then turn around and argue that your only rational choices are between two degrees of moral unacceptability. And it seems like this should be a really simple and obvious observation and yet it somehow keeps sailing over the heads of these galoots.
