You are a voter in Nazi Germany during the 1940s. Amazingly, it still holds democratic elections during this time.
Candidate A, if elected, will exterminate 12 million people in death camps. Candidate B, if elected, will exterminate 11 million people in death camps. There are third parties that advocate that there be no genocide at all, but they stand no chance of winning the election due to their tiny size and voter base.
You are anti-genocide. You are repeatedly told by people and media that you must vote for Candidate B because “if you dislike genocide, then how could it be better to vote for Candidate A? Candidate A would only do even more genocide. And if you vote third party or abstain from voting, then that’s a de facto vote for Candidate A. The only morally correct choice is to vote for Candidate B.”
- vote for Candidate A (12 million)
- vote for Candidate B (11 million)
- vote third party
- abstain from voting
