I love how everyone in this thread agreed to move forward and support the Dems
Everyone's upset about the vegan ice cream voters not voting for regular ice cream.
No one is upset at the regular ice cream people for being unwilling to vote for a vegan ice cream place because their choice is default in their mind.
Both sides are holding each other hostage. One has a moral reason and the other just doesn't want to compromise.
And yet.
Replace ice cream with cocaine and that's more realistic
Only organic cocaine for me, thank you.
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.
The United States political system is setup in such a way that third parties are an immidate non starter, a garenteed loss.
The only way out is to manipulate a party into changing its ideology like how the Christian Nationalists have been doing since the 80s.
Reminds me of this really annoying "I don't do politics" advert that was airing on British TV two decades ago. Like, I'm surprised the ad didn't end with a punch to the face.
The analogy is wrong right analogy would have been either drive of the cliff or push a kid bound to wheelchair off the cliff.
