If you don’t have ranked choice voting you do not live in a democracy

This is a bad analogy. Harris wasn’t fucking ice cream. A better analogy would be the trolley problem. People get killed no matter what choice you make.

But you know what? The solution to the trolley problem is to not play. I’m not to blame, the people who laid down the track, strapped down the people, and sent a train hurtling towards them are entirely responsible.

Edit: as others have commented - the real solution is to blow up the train before it hits anybody and go hunt down the sick bastard who set up the problem. (In other words - direct actions like sabotage and revolution).

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.

Na, nine people are told the bus is bad. So they vote to drive it off the cliff.

Don't get me wrong, of course voting is important.

Its just that the busdriver is drunk, and the bus falls apart.

Even if all scream for ice cream we might not get there.

Its time to get of the bus and walk.

im sure the illogical thinkers will start thinking logically any day now

Look, I really appreciate the sentiment, but it's time to acknowledge that those non-voters are not "misinformed future allies" any more than the MAGAs are. They are either accelerationists or fundamentally broken logically, and which form their indecision takes makes no difference -they are enemies of progress all the same, and to the extent there is ANY hope for the future, it relies on building a path AROUND them, not WITH them.
