More like 3 people vote to drive off one cliff, 3 people vote to drive off another cliff, 3 people don't vote, and 1 person votes not to drive off the cliff.

The 3 people who didn't vote in your scenario could band together and vote to drive off any cliff or no cliff at all. But they won't...because what? Their vote doesn't matter? Not a perfect cliff? Not a perfect non-cliff? Their favorite streaming series just got released and voting is really hard?

Still a bunch of dummies not using their power.

Everyone voting to not drive off a cliff would be the best choice. Doesn't help that liberals keep shaming people who vote that way.

Yeah, people voting against their own best interests is crazy. I guess to some people driving off a cliff is worth it as long as they get to decide who pees in which bathroom?

They'll vote to drive off their cliff just to spite the other cliff party. That party wants to drive off the east cliff? Obviously the only way to combat such extremism is to own those motherfuckers by driving off the west cliff

No, they're making a "both sides bad" argument when one side wants desperately to find an excuse to exterminate trans people, and the other is milquetoast and ineffective.
