Nice trolley problem bro. Just vote bro.

A system that conjures hypothetical busses careening off of hypothetical ledges to convince citizens to participate in democracy is liberal thing.

Democracy in socialist states is much simpler and effective. The workers control the government and the government serves them. There is no need to whip people into a frenzy.

    Yeah liberals are discrediting their own system when they describe it as being forced to vote for a lesser evil under the threat of fascism every election.

    Not to say all liberals describe it that way, but if I was a non-political apathetic non-voter, I wouldn't find that convincing.

    Yup, the logic of "obey us or suffer punishment, deviation will be seen as disobedience." Isn't exactly going to endear me to whatever it is you're proposing and, in fact, does everything to make me want to rebel against it.

    No system "conjured up" the trolley problem, it's a very old and well known thought experiment. It's not liberal or conservative, it just is.
