[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

Yeah but that other track was built by a woman.
and I bet that track leads to a tan suit store too
oh this again. more farming.
if you actively argue against building that third third rail, your an ass hole.
“but what about the short term” the short term does not matter vote for who you will. but the ones who scream “vote blue no matter who” never stop screaming it, the SECOND the election is over they will be in the wings to screech at everyone that talking about third option, or demanding progressive candidates is not an option. that we should vote who ever the nominee will be and voting for progressives in the primary will lose us the election. gouls.
to all the “vote blue no matter who” people who get upset because your neo liberal canidate loses the election because they are thinly veiled republicans, get over it. its the dnc’s fault they are so fucking unvoteable.
Vote blue unless there is someone who …
vote who actually has your back, and if that is no one, then don’t vote, unless you are ok to vote against your morals. and don’t give a single other soul crap for voting how they fucking wish
If you don’t cast a ballot politicians will not give a shit about your position and thus you will never get someone who had your back. AOC and Bernie come from strong blue districts. It’s not hard to see this…
This, except the the lever doesn’t actually control which track the trolley goes down, that is controlled by the trolley corporation. The third track is being built by people who understand this, in order to connect it with the other tracks so that noone has to be run over, but the person pulling the lever thinks they are pulling the track-switch.
The trolley corporation rigged it so that when the person pulls the lever, it actually bombs the other track, so that it won’t connect to the rest of the tracks, killing a few track builders in the process. The lever puller is told by the trolley corporation that the track would have switched except the track builders are terrorists who blew up the switching mechanism because they hate freedom. But not to worry, keep pulling the switch because it is actually individual switch pullers, not trolley corporations, and definitely not track-building “terrorists,” who make all the decisions, and that switch pulling is a sign of a healthy and civil society.
See, and whenever I make up bad guys that only exist in my shower argument fantasies, you guys all get mad about it. Is it the colours I use?
What’s the third track? A free Palestine? “Let’s be mad for people calling us out for not demanding more when children are murdered at industrial scale.” That’s how you sound.
Oh shut the absolute fuck up. At least conservatives go all-in on their stupidity, fucking centrists are just a bunch of cowards who spend more time making trash like this than anything useful. You’re not clever, you’re just a little bitch.
People voted for Mamdani pretty easily, and it’s been going great. People voted “center” here in Canada and it’s gone…predictably fucking awful.
Does Canada have a two party system?
fucking centrists are just a bunch of cowards who spend more time making trash like this than anything useful.
You’re right. Maybe instead of voting I’ll get a bunch of people and superglue my hands to the middle of the highway and make a bunch of people late to work. That’ll fight fascism and global warming at the same time.
@Soup@lemmy.world Looks like this thread got locked.
u can’t even do the bare-fucking-minimum and look at you cry and insult when you’re called out. Embarrassing.
The bare fucking minimum is voting you smooth brained muppet. At this point, if you don’t vote your’e the one enabling fascism.
Wow, is that seriously the best counter-argument you can come up with? Throwing a sulky adult temper-tantrum?
You can’t even do the bare-fucking-minimum and look at you cry and insult when you’re called out. Embarrassing.
Kind of an accurate comic since a lot of people would love to send the trolly to the third track but since it’s not connected we can only watch. And somehow people believe this is a failing of the person at the lever for not being able to teleport the trolly or something.
