    Aye, if you can rally enough voters behind a united, third option, that would be the way to break out. I’m cautioning that you need to be sure you can knock out the hammers, otherwise you risk the Spoiler Effect fucking things up. If you take the shot and miss, you might just hit your own foot instead.

    Don’t ignore the ugly realities of strategic voting just because they don’t fit your dream. If you’re confident you can break the cycle, by all means, go for it.

      Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’ve absolutely given up on any hope of things getting better. We’re talking pie in the sky hypotheticals here. It’s just nice to see other people want pie, too.

      You’re just being a reminder that we shouldn’t want those things and give up.
