First off, not my party. I don’t know how many more ways there are to say the phrase “voting for someone is not a show of support for them and all of their views.”
You don’t like the trolley problem because it’s a very good analogy for the present situation. There were exactly two options, and if you chose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
I also want to “derail the trolley.” I want a third party to win. But on the first Tuesday of November, it’s too late to build any new tracks. It’s too late to make a third party viable. If you know that third party isn’t going to win, then continuing to try to build that third track even as the trolley careens past the fork is tacit approval of whatever track it went down. Reach over and pull the damn lever, then get back to building the track.
The analogy kind of breaks down when you consider that Donald Trump plans on making it literally impossible for Democrats to win, let alone third parties. Again, unless you plan on doing something incredibly based very soon, you can kiss your third track goodbye. Trump owns the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. You think he’s gonna let Stein take the W in 2028?
