It's the trolley problem again. This time, you have 3 tracks and 2 switches. The trolley is headed towards 5 people, one switch sends it to 1 person, and the other switch would send it to 0 people, but it's broken. Voting third party is pulling the broken switch, knowing the 5 people will die but you've shifted the responsibility from yourself to whoever was supposed to fix the switch.
I see you are upset the 3rd switch is broken. Me too, thanks.
Let us begin working on the switch together. I hope you swing by by my ask lemmy Post to discuss your post election commitment to replace FPTP voting in your state.
Who would leave such a critical piece of infrastructure unfixed? Most certainly not you I'm sure.
Excellent analogy. If anyone still plays dumb after reading this, they probably are
ok ?
