    Theres also risk that you would get hurt helping in the other examples I gave.

    Also a random by stander would have no idea what flipping a switch would do, it could derail the train and kill more than are on either track.

    The situation in the trolley problem isnt realistic, and it definitely isnt simple or settled. Its an interesting thought experiment though.

      The trolley problem implies that the bystander knows what flipping the switch would do though? Same as the US election, since I doubt that Democrats would start actively oppressing trans people or women (unless they start compromising on issues).

        (unless they start compromising on issues).

        Something Democratic politicians are completely unknown to do.
