Polls showed that a ceasefire could have won Dems the election. Polls showed that Bernie would have beaten Trump in 2016. Outside of the morality of these choices, which is the most important aspect to me, they fail at their own supposed metric of success - actually winning elections!

Liberals: murder is always wrong.
Leftists: so social murder, the act of killing people by degrees in a society that doesn’t care about them, as well as genocide in Palestine and police killings of innocent people are completely unjustified.
Liberals: lol, no, murdering rich CEOs is always wrong.

For those who prefer Terry Pratchett to theory (like me) see Going Postal for the same argument.

Sharing this quote from Terry Pratchett’s Going Postal for no particular reason, certainly not to do with the discourse around whether the murder of one rich CEO is justifiable against the small incremental deaths of millions he likely contributed to.
