This story seems bizarre thematically. All of the characters are treating this situation as though the big moral question here is "do some people deserve to die?" which is a decent theme to base a story around. But shouldn't they first be questioning whether the president in particular deserves that power given that he's an obvious psycho who thinks schoolyard bullying deserves the death penalty? If he had actually been trying to kill someone as bad as Akira's dad the scenes with Akira and with the vice president would have felt more natural, but as it stands I just want to tear my hair out and scream at the characters because the entire premise of this "argument" is fucking stupid!
From your point of view it is, but think about it, both the Prez and Satsuki must have saw/went through something that made them think that way and they're just high schoolers, its to be expected that their way of seeing the world would change extremely, theyre also immature so they still dont really know how the world works
