The discourse on American politics sometimes devolves to “Leftists who won’t vote” & “MAGA Republicans” teaming up to “getting revenge on liberals”.

    Voting for a sandwich without peanut butter will result in other people deciding what sandwich you get, and the only realistic options are those with peanut butter.

    Also, you’ll have to eat the sandwich.

      I understand needing to eat the sandwich. I also understand making a collective first-past-the-post choice individual is a flawed argument.

      However there is an individual component to saying I really can’t eat peanut butter. The decision then becomes stand your ground (no peanut butter), compromise (just a little peanut butter) or protest (full peanut butter; see you in the ER). The claim is the compromise is best.

      How do we reach a point where we no longer need to compromise on peanut butter?
