Question for atlas democrats

[Antonio the Sixth]

The fact of the matter is, policies have an impact on people's lives. Sometimes this impact can be immense: lives have been destroyed by ill-conceived or deliberately cruel policies. If you are voting for a party that promotes a number of such policies (and few parties in the Western world promote policies as ill-conceived and/or deliberately cruel as the GOP), then you are an accomplice in the harm that they cause. This is and should be relevant in judging your morality.

This doesn't mean that people's reasons for voting the way they vote might not be valid to them - in some cases they can even be genuinely altruistic. And there are, of course, many other factors to take into account in judging someone's morality. I'm sure there were many NSDAP voters who were loving spouses, caring parents, loyal friends and assiduous workers. None of this, however, exonerates people from their responsibility in allowing an immense evil to occur.
