No it's not, that's because emotions are not rational and cannot be informative of the overall social good, Think of everyone who did something bad because they 'just knew' or 'felt strongly' that they were right in an introspective sense, like Hitlers conviction about the Jewish threat, or Jenny McCarthy promoting anti-vac, these methods for arriving at moral truths are no where near as effective or as reliable as Desire utilitarianism.
Looking at it from afar it stands to reason that the morally good action can be determined.
If you want to demonstrate a flaw in my reasoning then do so, else stop asserting shit.
