Is voting for continuing to drive on the road harm reduction? It’d keep the bus from getting ice cream until people vote to drive off the cliff out of boredom.
You don’t vote for a destination, you vote for a bus driver. Your two and only two choices are both telling you they’ll take you to the ice cream parlor while claiming the other driver will drive you off a cliff. Meanwhile, you see the bus passing multiple opportunities to stop at several different ice cream shops, doughnut shops, etc.
Then you find out that the company running the bus gets paid for every mile driven. And that every bus driver you’ve seen has been skimming the bus fare money.
Your shouts of protest against the bus chartering company are drowned out by all the other passengers trying to decide which of the two drivers would take the bus to the ice cream parlor vs the cliff.
In the analogy, your comment is part of the cacophony that doesn’t allow for change to take place.
“you are three days away from the best economy of your life”. That’s the ice cream.
Maybe you were too busy hearing the other driver talk about the cliff. Until we realize that those “other” voters are just as duped as we are, nothing will change.
If you’re a real person, and not a bot, you need to get used to the idea that your ✨ favorite ✨ political party doesn’t give a fuck about you or making your life better. Neither does the other party. You cannot ‘vote out’ a corrupt system of two colluding political parties.
I mean we got tariffs and being mean to poor people under Biden. So we had a driver promising ice cream while they only drive toward the cliff, the other driver criticizing him for not going fast enough, and then a guy with a megaphone yelling at anyone who says “we need the first guy to stop driving off a cliff, turn the wheel, hit the brake, something please, or the other guy is going to get to drive”

Well it’s an analogy so let’s get more precise.
You don’t vote for a destination, you vote for a bus driver. Your two and only two choices are both telling you they’ll take you to the ice cream parlor while claiming the other driver will drive you off a cliff. Meanwhile, you see the bus passing multiple opportunities to stop at several different ice cream shops, doughnut shops, etc.
Then you find out that the company running the bus gets paid for every mile driven. And that every bus driver you’ve seen has been skimming the bus fare money.
Your shouts of protest against the bus chartering company are drowned out by all the other passengers trying to decide which of the two drivers would take the bus to the ice cream parlor vs the cliff.
This analogy is wearing really thin.
The candidates were not promising the same thing.
Trump is rolling out the policies he campaigned on. Tariffs, being mean to poor people, and owning the libs.
He did not promise ice cream.

You sure as shit can’t vote for anything anymore. Well done.

If neither driver is going for ice cream, it makes little sense to make ice cream the sole topic to base your voting (or non-voting) decision on.
