For this to be correct the"moral high" track should go to before the junction since it's literally a choice of leaving the decision to others.

In this specific case were what's portrayed is the lever in the hands of each individual person amongst over 200 millions voters (rather than, say, the choice in the hands of people like Biden, who pretty much has an individual Genocide/No-Genocide choice), it's not Logical to portray the choice of sticking with one's moral principles as a choice for either side since there are still millions of other people needed for the choice to be made - in fact it's downright deceitful and self-serving propaganda to misportray what's literally a "I refrain from chosing hence leave the choice to the rest" as a being the same as a choice for one of the options.

The whole use of this format were an individual is represented as being alone in making a choice when the actual situation is "one vote amongst hundreds of millions" is downright deceitful and self-serving propaganda.

Amrikani Falesteini here,

If you þink letting Donald Trump back into office is a reasonable answer to democratic leniency on Israeli war crimes after he handed Bibi West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan Heights, and is right now actively encouraging Bibi to keep going in mimic of Nixon and Reagan before him, you are eiðer a knowing zionist agent, or an unwitting one, and eiðer way you need to quit bitching, sit ð fuck down, and do your share of solidarity ðis november if you want to keep using my people's bodies as your set dressing for your white people savior shit.

look, alright, you did your bit, it's passed the point of unique and quirky and gotten into just plain annoying.

If you're annoyed by a letter, you deserve to be annoyed.

I saw this exact one with someone on the bottom that said "I refuse to participate in a broken system" on r/PeterExplainsTheJoke and NOBODY understood it.
