    If you were in the trolley problem and the trolley was headed towards a million people, I can imagine you opting not to pull the lever to switch it to a single person because you won’t act unless there’s a perfect option with zero casualties.

      The two options in this trolly problem are Republican and Democrat.

      Switching the lever to the other option fails to change the course of the train.

        You just took a clear question/point (1 or 1 million people) and fabricated it into an unrelated and incorrect equivalency (omg what if they’re like Republicans and Democrats???). Realizing now I’ve wasted my time talking to someone who is, respectfully, a joke.

          “I’m mad because someone made a more accurate trolly problem to describe the current political landscape.”
