The philosophical problem is more a game theory one. You are participating in a limited outcome, constrained system. Depending on where you live, non participation results in a trump win.
The philosophical problem assumes only one action available to you with clear results. Neither of these is true here.
More to the point. The philosophical problem is about the agony of inaction. You don’t need to bastardize the meme to add a third “inaction” route. That’s just inane.
Again that dodges the conclusion that one of the two WILL win. Understanding your district and the “cost” or teinal result of inaction still funnels all choices and interests to one of two results.
All outcomes are foreseen. The one that will occur is not. Abstaining and 3rd party voting has known impacts that lead to one or the other possible outcome.
That’s untrue. We know each candidates general stance from past time in executive office. It’s easy to look up trump’s past actions and current words on the middle east, and to the meme, we know his stance on minority communities, abortion, citizen rights, etc. as well.
No love for Harris, but her platform is far saner and even ethical than trump’s.
I wasn’t trying to make the US election into a philosophical problem, because Trump winning will have serious global consequences, regardless of how immoral voting for Democrats might be.
voting or not voting for trump is going to have important global consequences given that it doesn’t matter who the figurehead is when half your country is fascist. If not Trump, then someone else. and no amount of voting democrats is going to change this.
In one image, show us you don’t understand the philosophical problem.

One of these winning, doesn’t mean the results are foreseen. Which is unlike the meme where the results are foreseen.

“Foreseen” is there will be one track chosen, not what is lying on that track.

The ‘philosophical problem’ with tankies trading people’s lives to teach a politician a lesson?
Wow what a great sense of morality you have.
The philosophical problem of the trolley problem itself, but don’t let me stop you from moralizing in advance.
The meme hasn’t been about the philosophical problem in a long time.
