@MarsAutomatic @Intrinsic29 The two best win conditions are either 100% red or 50% +1 blue. Which do you think is more likely?

@CaptainCanady @Intrinsic29 Why do people keep talking about the "100% voting" thing? It's a total red herring. It's not relevant whatsoever. There will never be a situation where either side gets 100% of the vote. It's moot. I've seen reds try to argue that 100% of people should vote red too and it's dumb.

@robertliefeld The give 1st team all NBA selections for playing longer? Why doesn't Vince Carter have any?
English
Playing longer. That’s it. It doesn’t do it for a large majority otherwise you wouldn’t try so hard to convince everyone.

@TheKavernacle Why are you riding so hard for the republican zionist, Susan collins?

US Socialists 6 months ago: 'We know Graham Platner is a violent baby killer and Nazi but he's the least bad candidate in the primary!'
US socialists today:

Again, he is avoiding ever watching the video because he knows that she brings up the fact that he went to Germany to have sex with a 14-year-old prostitute.

@ProctorZ @FrankCastleMilk Preventing mass baby genocide is a pretty good reason to pick blue
English
@FrankCastleMilk Why am I supposed to care about people who are too stupid to make the easiest, simplest and most blatantly logical choice to survive? How is this even a question? You pick red and you survive. There is no reason you would ever pick blue.
English
My conclusion after reading through the dozens of comments this accrued is 'make absolutely certain everyone you care about knows you will press red and to do the same.'
Proctor Zakharov@ProctorZ
I'm late to the whole red & blue button thing but all I can say is that I cannot even grasp the mindset of people who seem to think pressing blue is the sane decision.

@ShitpostRock2 It's crazy how every single republican is still too retarded to understand what those graphs mean
English
Crazy how the red and blue button hypothetical is in essence just this

@Mostly_Infamous @spiderking232 Killing half the babies in the world would also be a traumatic experience.
English
@CaptainCanady @spiderking232 Hitting someone in your car is a traumatic experience that even the most hardcore red button pusher would try to avoid. Even if you avoid any empathetic aspects, a complete sociopath wouldn’t want their car damaged or covered in blood.
So yeah they will try to avoid you
English
Red is still a win win. I'm not willing to gamble my life for the sake of everyone who presses blue.
I choose life.
jacke@Jacke_Bee
A train is coming down the track. Everyone on earth IS ALREADY tied to the track. If 50% of humans choose blue, the train stops before it hits anyone. If more humans choose red, it continues, hitting everyone who voted to stop the train, but the reds teleport into the train.
English
@Mostly_Infamous @spiderking232 Retarded analogy on your end. Running into traffic to save a baby is absolutely a risk. The only reason why you think you wouldn't die is because you're assuming the other drivers would stop for you. That directly goes against your claim that people would never help others
English
@CaptainCanady @spiderking232 In that scenario I’m not going to die. So yes, if get the baby out of the street.
If you saw a baby fall out a window, are you diving out the window after it?

@dpburnette @dhaze0 @Hoopss The league is literally the most stacked and talent rich it's ever been. Today's G-league teams would annihilate most 90s teams

Yeah, he just got a Nazi death camp tattoo by mistake.
And sympathized with Nazis by mistake. And made racist comments by mistake. And justified r*pe by mistake.
But Elon Musk raised his hand that one time, so he’s totally a Nazi.

@Shannon_8501 @thepondering_ The guy who voted for Susan Collins twice is no democrat to me.
English
I've peeped some Twitter liberals in my timeline hint or say outright they won't vote for Platner over Collins
To which I remind you all: VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO CUTS BOTH WAYS
If leftists should vote for moderate nominees (they should), moderates should vote for leftist ones
Democrats@TheDemocrats
Maine, let’s send an oyster farmer to the U.S. Senate—and kick out Susan Collins.

@PaunonenSami @GrumpyCatterman It's not my fault you're too retarded to comprehend the scenario.

@CaptainCanady @GrumpyCatterman "I'm making up entirely new and irrelevant issues to try and excuse my poor and naive decision-making instead of admitting I'm wrong" -You

It is fascinating how a hypothetical where everyone lives if they press red has the far left enraged. They see not potentially committing suicide as murder because apparently they are too stupid to not cause a problem for themselves.

@MrBeast Everyone is framing blue as the suicide button when red is the murder button.

@mikenelson586 @KFILE We don't care, the goal is to beat the zionists and republicans.

Guys, stop with the Platner apologism. He referred to his tattoo as a "totenkopf" in 2019. He knew was it was. You're being disingenuous (h/t @KFILE )

@Mostly_Infamous @spiderking232 I sense a lot of projecting going on here. If you saw a baby in a stroller abandoned rolling in the street in front of your car, you wouldn't try and go get the stroller out of the street? I think most people would, rather than hitting the gas pedal and obliterating the baby.
English
@CaptainCanady @spiderking232 But you’re the kind that would see someone getting jumped and would duck your head and walk the other way.
Which means, when that day came, you’d vote for baby genocide.
English
@Mostly_Infamous @spiderking232 Who, me? I'm not the one arguing to vote to make baby genocide more likely
English
@CaptainCanady @spiderking232 The part that you need to come to grips with, is that you, regardless what you tell yourself, are one of those people.

@DerekPederson3 Israel literally shot hellfire missile at their own citizens on Oct 7th
English
Literally everyone is replying with total death stats as if the number of civilians and combatants in the area of combat is completely irrelevant.
Fucking willfully misunderstanding a point it's goddamn obnoxious.
Derek Pederson 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇻🇪@DerekPederson3
I argued with a guy that Hamas was approximately 10 times as indiscriminate on October 7th as Israel has been in their military response in Gaza (as in, the ration between the combatant and civilian death rates in the the area of combat) and he flipped out on me.
English
@DerekPederson3 Left wing is when you take money from AIPAC and just do whatever they tell you to do
English
This is an enormous misdiagnosis of the problem.
They're just too left-wing. It's literally that simple.
English
@CaptainCanady @Bagaget Then it's a badly designed hypothetical because babies and paraplegics (among others) can't vote, let alone vote correctly
English
Coworkers were talking about the "Blue-Red button" dilemma and one summed it up well:
Initially you'll want to choose blue out of compassion, but once you realize everyone already knows the rules going into it, the only reason you'd choose blue is to save blues from themselves.
