Can I get a smug lecture on how you're choosing the third, disconnected track?

seems to me that actively sabotaging any effort into making a connection to the third track so that no one has to die is a REAL ass hole move.

Cool, but we live in reality, I love your ideas, but this is the real world

We can try to do 2 things at once, but you can't deny that all those people that chose not to vote "in protest" during the last presidential election didn't seem to do a THING towards supporting a 3rd party or setting up ranked choice voting.

They protested by staying in, we got the worse option of the 2, more people are hurt than would have been under "the other guy", and we have nothing good to show for it.

People who don't want to vote didn't even show up to the polls to write in a common name. Disappointing.

Maybe if you used you political system as intended instead of just telling people they've got to vote they'd engage more.
