The thing about the trolley problem is that the onvious answer is, when going purely by the numbers, to pull the lever. Too many people don’t pull it(don’t vote) and act like they did the morally correct thing while the several people get smushed.
And the thing about it is that it’s not a trolley problem at all but simple harm reduction. It’s the same pool of people getting hurt, not two separate tracks. One party won’t protect as many as they should, sure, but the other party will happily throw gasoline on the lot and light ‘em up to keep themselves warm while they wait for the train to come.
Half the population would do nothing, just take out their phones to record it, then pretend they could’ve never changed the result. “I can’t believe the trolley did that! Yeah, I caught it on video!”
I mean, yes, but it’s not a very hard trolly problem.
Once this fucked up election is over, we can start to put massive pressure on Kamala to enact change. Unless Trump wins… Then none of us will be able to do a thing, in all honesty.
So exactly what was said about Biden in 2020. Except once Biden was elected that pressure evaporated as liberals lost interest in progressive policies.
Voting in America has literally become the trolly problem.

The best solution is tearing up the tracks.
Cool. You got a plan to do that inside of the next month-and-spare-change?
