Think of it like voting to change the thermostat
Say you want 72F and neither candidate is close. Well, no party is going to think they can get away with running a candidate who is pushing for 72F when the existing options are 32F and 212F. A progressive party might think 35F is ok or even 40F but 72F? Surely they would just lose the election outright.
By putting in for the 32F team, you’re trying to bring the average temperature closer to 72F. If you and a few million like you start pushing together, the party will eventually start running candidates calling for 40, 50, 60 degrees. 72F may be a long way off but if you don’t move the needle the candidates never get better.
So for now? Vote for 32F, hand out blankets, and tell everyone else the end goal is 72F. Reassess if/when we progress if the best choice is still the cold team.
Deadpool is like almost not a comic book movie though
I mean in a literal sense it obviously is - but his whole schtick with breaking the 4th wall and such is more like a meta comic book movie, and in many ways meta commentary gets better the more tired and worn out it’s target mainstream genre becomes.
There’s probably a point where it is so worn even a Deadpool movie is more beating a dead horse than comedic catharsis but most of us don’t seem to be there yet
