This is kind of a good analogy for ranked choice voting, to be honest.
The bus analogy would have been better if the only two choices were 1. to run over a bunch of poor brown kids (Israel's genocide) and being pissed on by billionaires before driving off a cliff OR 2. run over slightly fewer brown kids while being given moldy bread to eat.
If liberal democrats truly believed in democracy than they would fight to give us a multiparty system where people don't have to vote for genocide just to prevent a more evil tyrant from taking power.
Ranked choice voting is the answer. Our team sports mentality is why we support our team even when they're wrong. Without a team mentality Trump would never have been able to take over the Republican party. With us or against us will be the end of our country.
