There were exactly two paths the trolley could go down as of November. You can pretend there weren’t, but the only option any individual had other than Harris or Trump was to assassinate one or both, and I’m not interested in getting iced by the SS
Unless you think there’s some magic number of comments you can make on the internet that will somehow convince enough voters to ditch the two main parties. Of course, you would have to be incredibly naive to believe in that magic number.
Edit: let’s update the trolley problem to be more in line with this election. Imagine instead of two tracks, there are three: the Red Track has 5,000,000 innocent people tied to it. The Blue Track meets back up with the Red Track down the line, but skips past 4,500,000 of those people. The Green Track doesn’t have anyone tied to it at all.
If the trolley goes down the Red Track, 5,000,000 people die. If the trolley goes down the Blue Track, only 500,000 of those people die. If the trolley goes down the Green Track, nobody dies. The choice is obvious, right? Pick the green track!
Except polling shows that 75 million people will be pulling the Red Lever, 75 million people will be pulling the Blue Lever, and less than 1 million people will be pulling the Green Lever. What Lever is most likely to save the most people?
It’s Blue, the answer is Blue, because not enough people give a shit about Green to pull it, and too many people are zealously in favor of Red to dissuade them. The only way to prevent any deaths is to help get the Blue lever pulled.

Objectively false. More than three paths literally on the ballot. Ignoring the pre-November time frame. Ignoring the possibility of write-ins. You are deliberately leaving things out in your framing - you’re lying.
Yes, I could have voted for anyone I wanted, and there were still only two people who could possibly have been elected. Any vote for anyone other than those two literally didn’t impact the election.
Unfortunately I couldn’t read this idiot’s replies before they got nuked, but I’m pretty sure I saw something along the lines of “and yet Harris didn’t win the election” in my notifications.
Harris got 48.4% of the votes, Trump got 48.9% of the votes, and no one else got even close to 1%. If you don’t understand how Harris had a solid chance and Stein doesn’t, I can only assume you’re either a child who’s never interacted with an election before, or a troll from a foreign country trying desperately to sow discord in America, because I do not believe that an adult can genuinely be that stupid.
