The system has failed us. At least a third of us but, to have a respectable shot, a quarter of us must revolt.

The politicians may want the win for selfish reasons. You just want the best representatives for yourself, your loved ones, and your country.

This hypothetical allows you to weigh a party taking the moral high ground against representatives the average Lemming does not want making four years of policy decisions being in a position to do so.

You can give the party you want to win a spine, but it comes at a cost.

Interesting. Then I’m guessing you’d accept the time machine showed you the right outcome & would let the dems lose this election, but it would help them for the next/future elections?
