Since ALL you care about lives (and not at all political parties), surely you would vote even for an asshole like Newsom, if not voting for him would make people's lives worse. Right?

Voting for Newsom would make some lives worse. I’m not getting behind that even if it makes my life better. When it comes to basic rights, I don’t make trades like that anymore. You do you, I suppose, but stop acting shocked/offended when people with greater moral clarity stick to their principles.

So you care about other people's lives, but you just care about your own principles more. Fair enough.

Kill/Harm one to save … how many? Where do YOU balance those scales? Principles establish a consistency that is the foundation of one’s politics. Without them, all you’ve fighting for is to “win” at the expense of the most marginalized.

So just watching as many are being killed/harmed, because trying to save at least some would not be consistent? Maintaining one's politics at the expense of the most marginalized? I'd just be repeating my previous post here.
