So if someone gives you a gun and tells you to shoot 10 people in the head or they will kill 20 people, you are saying that it’s a moral obligation to shoot the 10 people in the head?
You are morally responsible in some degree for 20 people dying rather than 10. Though, in that example, I seriously doubt that most people would think the moral choice is to shoot the 10 people. Probably because we instinctually know that wouldn’t be the end of it or none of the deaths seem inevitable.

Democrats are evil scum, no one should be voting for them.
Except the other option is worse. And you are complicit in whoever wins if you don’t vote at all.
One cannot be held accountable for not participating.
Grow the fuck up.

Yes, you can. It’s just a trolley problem, and you’re choosing to not flip the switch. It’s still your choice and has consequences.

Do you mean temporarily choosing the lesser evil is not a solution?
Only if there’s solution you can bring about that isn’t one of the evils.
Have you literally never heard of the trolley problem?
This is what it looks like when the cartoons are replaced with humans.
