Immigrants used to be on top rail, but after four years, they have been placed on both rails, just like the Palestinians. There is no guarantee that the groups placed on the top rail will not be shifted to the bottom rail as well in four years.

Voting for Democrats is always advertised as the lesser of two evils, but it sure seems like the lesser evil is just trying to kill the same groups the greater evil. If they want people to vote for them, the Democrats should start working to save and prevent people from being tied to trolley tracks.

Or at least lie about it.

Wtf. I've never seen so many people annoyed that their fellows are protesting genocide. How do you take a situation like this and make it a fucking trolley meme.

Imagine you're strapped to an operating table, incapacitated. There are two other people in the room strapped to tables with you.

In walk two psychopaths, let's call them Al and Bob. They explain to you that they've decided to let the three of you choose your fate: Al wants to chop off your right hand, Bob wants to chop off all four of your limbs. They give you five minutes to decide, and then they'll come back to take a vote, majority decides whether Al or Bob gets their way. If you refuse to vote they'll flip a coin.

Immediately one of the other victims starts saying how terrible Al is and how horrible it is to chop off someone's right hand. Non-stop protesting the inhumanity of Al, how important it is to deny Al the opportunity to take your right hand.

For whatever reason they seem oddly quiet on the fact that Bob also wants to take your right hand, and arm, and the left, and both legs. Whenever you try to interject with that fact, they accuse you of being pro-handchopping and how could you even suggest voting for Al the evil handchopper. And now the other victim seems to be taking this anti-Al rhetoric quite seriously.

Would you find that annoying?
