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

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.
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
Maybe if you used you political system as intended instead of just telling people they've got to vote they'd engage more.
