The problem with your analogy is the third choice wasn't don't get shot. We had three choices.

  1. Choose to get shot in the arm with a .22
  2. Choose to get shot in the arm with a .50
  3. Do nothing and get shot in the arm with a .50

This wasn't the trolley car problem. Simple game theory can be applied.

I agree the Dems need to do better but Trump is objectively worse in every way. Forget his political views, he's just a garbage human being. He's everything that's bad about humanity, or at least of capitalism, and it saddens me that 60% of my fellow Americans are just cool with that.
