Pretending your argument maps perfectly onto a reductive analogy (that you absolutely didn't understand) doesn't make it reality.

If this were the trolley problem, dems and conservatives would be the exact same track, just one option goes quickly and other slowly. Actually changing the track involves choosing to organize and do the work of undermining the capitalist system itself, not the brand of puppet you're gonna get. But liberals dislike this because it's not as easy as literally flipping a lever.

If you're still campaigning for corporate dems, you're insisting on keeping the lever where it is, but the lesser evil would make it run slowly so maybe it'll give others time to stop it, and that way it might not splash guts and blood on you, which is the important part after all.
