      The analogy is of stopping a vehicle by hitting the brakes.

      You object that one individual has all the control in the situation.

      I point out that if it the brakes were only hit by a vote of everyone in the vehicle, it wouldn’t be less vile to abstain from voting than it would be to abstain from hitting the fucking brakes.
