The whole thing with the "trolley problem" is that blood is on your hands regardless. Not touching the lever doesn't stop the trolley and can lead to more death.
In the recent voting case not pulling the lever put lgbtq, disabled, immunocompromised, minorities, Ukraine, remnants of democracy and a habitable planet on the tracks. The other track had Palestinians and could have been shifted away with enough protest.
The Palestinians were on both tracks.
Oh, no, had I the chance to vote in the USA (not American), I would've voted for anyone who wasn't a Trump adherent, just to prevent The Orange Man from participating in the unfolding of history any more than he already has. Don't get me wrong, I'm frustrated and disillusioned, not stupid.
But in other places, such as my country, we're well past the point of that choice even being on the table.
