Maybe something like "the top one only ties one arm across the tracks"? Like, you're getting fucked, but not quite as badly?
They really need an electoral system that makes a third or fourth or fifth option viable, like proportional representation or ranked choice of some kind. But..
I suspect that timeframe may be decades. You'd have to educate enough people who aren't yet dug into " this is how we've always done it" about the problems of the system, convince them of a better alternative and, macabre as it may sound, wait for the old and stubborn "I don't want to learn anything new" to die off.
