    The trolley problem this election was either only genocide in Gaza, or destruction all around including in US. There was no empty track.

      Yes, my point is that inaction doesn’t absolve a person from the consequences of their inaction. Positioning the trolley problem with an empty track was a way to emphasize that principle, not an attempt to characterize the choice in 2024 as between harmlessness and slaughter.
