i personally think this back and forth over humans and mutants and their relative hierarchical position/what's owed to who/how they should treat each other is largely uninteresting and unfruitful cause it's never going to amount to anything definitive nor substantial in either direction.
I'm much more interested in the emerging stratification that seems to be happening within mutant kind as a result of krakoa and the government that manages it.
I actually agree with Exodus, he was just speaking facts, Human life is not contingent on mutant survival(neither the other way round).It's in modern speak a similar misconception that just because US is a superpower it suddenly ought to be the world's paramedic,policeman and fireman. It's normal to look out for one's own primarily and not get involved in exerting influence that can be taken as interference.Besides humanity has Avengers and other superheroes that are de facto defence. As cold as it may seem, Storm's bee talk is disingenuous, unless the threat is to Krakoa too, the world being depopulated does not automatically mean Krakoa or mutants will perish.Though familial ties to humanity are the only sentiment that would hold value in Storm's argument but sentiment alone is not equivalent to an existential threat
Sinister was the one being nefarious gloating in humanity's demise for whatever gain he saw.

Damn when you out it that way the X-Men should be totally fine with genocide /s
Man Duggans run can't come soon enough, provided its not a bait and switch like the Gala was
If Krakoa voted for this x-men team, why did mutants vote for someone like Sunfire who's always kept himself apart from the mutant population and hasn't done anything recently to gain such popularity. He wasn't involved with X of sword or hox/pox or was he part of the first resurrection or part of any team so it begs the question of why would anyone vote for him. Everett has been alive for like fives minutes after being dead for 20 years (the vault was a secret black ops mission that the krakoan population knows nothing about) so why are they voting for him?
I mean it makes sense that Krakoan would vote for a Wolverine and Laura has been in various teams and part of every major event with the X-men since her creation so she has these credentials as a boost, I can accept Sunfire surge in popularity due to his involvement with Knull but Ev? He's no different than the many students and murdered mutants children that were recently resurrected and it's hard to believe he'd win an election against seasoned x-men like Cannonball, Sunspot, Banshe, Armor or Forge who's been building everything on Krakoa.
Voting was a silly gimmick, the roster was decided from the start - excepting Lorna, I guess.
Does it need doing?
Yes.
Then it will be done.
Im honestly pretty sure they knew Lorna was going to win from the jump
