If both candidates support genocide then my moral line in the sand is crossed, no reasonable person who's against genocide can vote for either. But if genocide is on your list of ok things, then I'm sure it's a very complicated issue for you.

Don't worry, your mother and I will teach you about the basics about morality when you're an adult.

This is pretty fundamental trolley problem stuff. If one choice kills 10 million and the other choice kills 5 million but protects the other 5 million, you refusing to participate entirely isn't a noble stand, it's saying you don't give a shit about the other 5 million.

I care too much about these vulnerable people to help these other vulnerable people while not actually helping the other vulnerable people is just being an idiot.
