[a character holds a lever connected to rails, on which a train is approaching fast]
A train is approaching fast…
Many people are tied to the tracks…
As a bystander, I can do only one thing in this current moment: flip a lever, which would send the train to another track where it would also kill people, but less of them

[next to another separate railway track, someone is trying to get the first character's attention]
Hey you, over there, look!
There is a third track here!
It is not connected to the other tracks, but there are zero people tied to it, so if you do not choose to send the train on this third track right now you are an evil genocide enabling liberal

In this specific cas you can only vote cause the train is already barelling towards hundreds of people. What you shouldve done is stopped the train at the station four years ago with the help of other people when it was predetermined that this train would kill people either way. Also you have another four years before the train reaches the next switch and you could organize against it, connect the third track later on so you can switch it, or probably the bes lt option to burn the whole fucking thing down. Third parties are not a solution and ive had enough of people saying they are. The system is broken, you have to change the system not elect someone who is still slightly just somewhat better and will probably capitalize on their win immidiately after.
