And somehow you’ll still be vilified if you say: why not vote for a 3rd party candidate?. Clearly both Pepsi and Coke are laced with cyanide, don’t mind me if I choose RC Cola*.

* personally I prefer Jarritos, not Pepsi, Coke or RC. All of this is of course metaphorical, Biden and Trump aren’t actually laced with cyanide but may as well be.

Just because you think Alfred is too old to take care of the Batcave, you don’t replace him with the Joker.

Exactly. You also don’t put Alfred in a fight he will lose against the Joker. Time for fresh and young Alfred Jr.

When people become politically active enough to produce a younger Alfred we can vote for him or her. Until then- it’s going to take a lot more than SJWs being outraged every election year and then disappearing into obscurity in between.

And this is a fact.

If you choose RC Cola, you get RC Cola. If picking a soft drink was like the elections, you wouldn’t want to choose RC because you’d still get Pepsi or Coke and you’ll just be throwing away your ability to influence it to be the one with the lower concentration of cyanide.

Meanwhile nobody wants to acknowledge that the soda machine is already cooked and needs to be put out to pasture when asking for “no cyanide, please” gets you accused by the supposedly “civil, thoughtful” soda drinkers for being foreign plants hellbent on shoving the soda they don’t like down their throats, instead of regular people who think not dying of cyanide poisoning might be pretty cool.

I suppose this take would be easy if you consider both of those examples to mean the exact same thing.

I’ll vote for a tree stump over a wannabe-dictator that’s also a rapist and a convicted felon.

I would vote for a tree stump, I agree. Might even write it down if the Democrats do what they did in PA in 2020 and have no 3rd party candidate on the ballot.

Fun fact: America was actually created as the world’s largest scale Prisoner’s Dilemma experiment. Sure, you could do the right thing but it only works if a bunch of other people also do the right thing, and you kind of know they won’t.
