Can I get a smug lecture on how you're choosing the third, disconnected track?

seems to me that actively sabotaging any effort into making a connection to the third track so that no one has to die is a REAL ass hole move.
We can try to do 2 things at once, but you can't deny that all those people that chose not to vote "in protest" during the last presidential election didn't seem to do a THING towards supporting a 3rd party or setting up ranked choice voting.
They protested by staying in, we got the worse option of the 2, more people are hurt than would have been under "the other guy", and we have nothing good to show for it.
People who don't want to vote didn't even show up to the polls to write in a common name. Disappointing.
Maybe if you used you political system as intended instead of just telling people they've got to vote they'd engage more.
if that’s so then representing this as the troley problem is EXTRA poiniant.
the troley problem is a problem, because it’s answer is debated. with the whole argument being either utilitarian, or deontology.
you just validated everyone who didn’t vote, good jorb there.
and as a utilitarian myself, i have to give you guys props on that self own. because you altered the trolly problem, the only valid options are deontology, or building the track away from the D. amazing jorb
Cool, but we live in reality, I love your ideas, but this is the real world
the REAL world has the election far enough out that preemptive adoption of a genocide is an unnecessary evil.
the REAL world has the D also with the same heads on the rail as R.
the REAL world has idiots posting this as a trolley problem, thus validating everyone who didn’t vote.
the REAL world has people using propaganda like this, who’s REAL goal is the continuation of genocide.
Sounds like you're a conspiracy nutter to me
