    The arguments against voting in the USA sound similar to the trolley problem

    Some people wouldnt choose to be the reason of the death of one person even if doing nothing causes the death of multiple people

        Almost like they are paying for the people suffering thousands of miles away?

        Do you have a brain by any chance?
