You would eventually "drive off a cliff" with either party, as they will softlock you into never having better choices, and the overton window will keep moving to the right. The only possibility out is to vote third party.
Username checks out.
Hive mind
There are so many options to get out of this, with varying degrees of violence and nonviolence, and voting third party is way down the list for efficacy and likelihood.
I'm up for whatever, so long as Trump gets Scarlet Rot by the end.
Amen to that. Though I wouldn't hold my breath, considering the immense injustice of the universe thus far.
Now I'm trying to imagine what kind of elden ring boss trump would be. Probably one of those things that vomits worms?
Ahh yes.
Voting.
Let’s use the corrupt and exploitative system to fix the corrupt and exploitative system.
I’m sure that will work.
New York City's primaries just proved that this isn't the case.
So if you eventually drive off a cliff anyway might as well get it over with and do it now... Because ice cream is for children or gay or something
It's almost like the whole scenario and setup is just a dumb analogy about why the people who constantly fail are actually correct.
It's astounding that an analogy seeking describe the process of voting in a FPTP system in terms so simple a child can understand is still so consistently misunderstood by Politically Serious People.
I guess it would need to be dumbed down a little more to be truly universally digestible.
