Which is better: results-based morality or principle-based morality?

Using the proper decision making method...

1. Explore and list the universe of possible options (brainstorm, research, etc.)

2. Eliminate the implausible options (stuff that obviously isn't going to work or happen)

3. Narrow down to the top few options.

4. Select the best (or least worst) option. If it's too close to tell which is best, then it really doesn't matter which one you pick (just pick one or flip a coin, don't get caught in 'analysis paralysis' and end up doing nothing).

Results are what counts. If we try to hold out for ideal circumstances in this imperfect world, then we fail step 2. We have to make the best 'practical' choice from the most plausible options available in the situation.

Results based. Principles should never be followed to the point of harming the innocent, the uninvolved, or those who may have committed an act considered normally wrong but justified by circumstances.

For voting it can be different. Even if a candidate has no chance of winning a large enough showing could signal your discontent with current viable alternatives. So again it is results based.

Results based morality.

A person with principle based morals may refuse to shoot someone who is about to detonate a nuclear bomb in a city, when there is no other way to stop them, while the person with results based morals has no qualms about saving those many thousands of lives.

I voted for Ron Paul every year he ran. Voting is a right but the moral aspect for me was to try to grow the voice that was anti establishment. For a while this movement was doing ok but then was infiltrated by mainstream republicans and is now dead. The scriptures says God raises one up and brings another down and it is not based on who is best but on who you deserve. When your nation is morally bankrupt you will get a corrupt leader who will rip you off and take your liberties and spend your future. This election is you look at platforms only Trump is the only pro life candidate out there. He is anti NWO and has the right enemies. I find him repugnant and yet there is no one else to vote for even a protest vote.

Ends don't justify means. If they do, much evil will be done. So principle and results basis agree that to avoid evil, evil must not be done.

I'm sure this can be laid out as clearly as a geometry proof, eh.

Vote for Johnson if that's what you think is right.

I vote for the one I genuinely approve of, regardless of his chance of winning.

Better by principle ?, or Better by result ?

Did you really not see the tautology ???????
