Everyone who didn’t vote got what they asked for. There were two options. If someone thinks there’s better days ahead so be it, but what’s coming up is part of that same decision. There is no one else to blame. If the pain is worth the long term benefit, then fine, but it was an active and informed choice. The bodies that result were deemed acceptable in service of a better 2028.
Yeah… so does not… that’s the whole damn trolley problem thing… there were clear and defined outcomes for not pulling the switch. May have been justifiable, not even debating that, but you still own the choice.
I just love baseless confidence.
Let’s be hearing them, then.
Lol!
"You won.
Lol!"

the only thing they clearly wanted was no winner
That was not an option on the table. Again, if you think it’ll lead to a better tomorrow so be it, but acknowledge the bodies paving the road.
voting makes them responsible for the bodies.

doesn’t have an answer. it’s a thought experiment to expose your personal ethics. deontologists never touch the switch.
deontologists still get splattered, even if it’s the correct choice.
but they have no responsibility for the circumstances.
you can’t be responsible for something you didn’t cause. that’s not how responsibility works.
There are differing opinions on that depending on which philosopher is at the switch. What doesn’t change is they all have to watch the carnage.
but some of them choose to become murderers
