I’m pretty sure they left the Electoral College out of this hypothetical scenario. Because the reality is, no matter how the general population votes, the Electoral College makes the ultimate decision. So the electoral College mightve decided to go for ice cream even though most people wanted to go off a cliff or didn’t care at all.

Is this PsyOps to keep people discouraged?

The OP has a point and for some reason you don’t like it. I wonder which of the people you’d be in this analogy.

I understand feeling angry and dejected, but if you act like there’s absolutely no hope, then there won’t be. Votes still matter in this country. Maybe they’re not counted in exactly the way you’d like, but they’re still important, and they make a difference.

The OP said the option was between going off a cliff or going for ice cream. I’m telling you in reality our options are going off a cliff or bursting into flames. And THAT is why people don’t vote.

Right. They do all the campaigning and Fox News propaganda just for fun.

People like you think it’s fun to watch. And you think it’s meaningful. So they’ve got plenty of audience in people like you.

Why do you keep insisting that the only race that matters is for the Presidency? You keep hidng behind your superior moral stance based on the Electoral Colleges flaws. The electoral college only pertains to the presidency.

What’s going on in your local school board or city council races? If you can’t answer, then perhaps reconsider who may be falling for a psy-op.

That’s the race that’s being discussed, were not talking about local elections in this bus metaphor, it’s very clearly the presidential election being discussed, which explains the mentioning of the EC

Please read the original post and let me know where the presidency is mentioned.
