[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

    There is no lever.

    You haven’t even laid the foundations of that track.

    Starting somewhere is good, better than 0%, but existing only in the public eye briefly during each election season is not the way tracks are laid. Lessons to be learned from LFI in France imo, spending a decade becoming undeniable by very visibly laying tracks alongside the proletariat for non-electoral reasons before even starting to ask for anyone to pull the third track lever convinced 20% of the population to pull it on the first try and has the bourgeoisie so scared a majority of us will pull it next year that they’re trying to ban us.

    Will never blame someone for refusing to vote democrat though, Marx would vote PSL rather than dems and I’d agree with his choice. I’m strictly annoyed at the people who call out others for not pulling a lever that doesn’t exist. Don’t mind them trying to pull that lever, but others shouldn’t be blamed for the lack of results until the track has been connected to the main fork.
