I just don’t understand people railing at the non voters and the people who voted for Trump. It seems as backward as a rocket scientist raging at drag and wind breaking their rocket. “How dare the wind do this! Don’t they know this will progress humanity!?!”
It’s your job to build a rocket that can withstand the air at those speeds. The air is always a problem you have to deal with, and no, you can’t shame the air into doing what you want.
Genuinely the democratic campaign seemed more like they were pushing a trolley problem than a future. So why is everyone so shocked it failed?
I think you’re getting your roles all mixed up with your analogy. The anger you reference is at fellow voters. It isn’t the average voter’s job to build a better rocket. And the wind is not alterable but voter decisions are. The anger is at the decision makers who chose the rocket that was less capable of dealing with the harsh wind or chose to not pick a rocket at all, knowing that would result in the lesser rocket being picked.
airflow and friction can be manipulated and corrected. Trump knows this and has been doing it for 8 years.
sure, wind drag is an infuriating factor, i get pissed off at it sometimes, but it will never take the majority of the blame from me compared to the people forcing us all into the damn rocket.
You compare voting to the laws of physics. They’re not even remotely similar. Politics is choice.
A more apt comparison would be a little kid crying that he wants a chocolate ice cream, his mum says he should order that, then to be funny/petulant/assertive he orders strawberry - and gets mad at his mum when the server gives him strawberry.
“It was your job to make me choose what I wanted!”, he wails.
Reminded me of when the Republicans overrode Obama’s veto of that one 9/11 bill, and then complained that it was his fault and he didn’t warn them hard enough.
The options weren’t chocolate and vanilla. They were getting kicked down a steep hill or kicked off a cliff, and you seem flabbergasted that some people chose to flip the bird instead of groveling and thanking the democrats for only kicking them down a steep hill.
Especially when in the next 4 years their options are gonna be slightly steeper hill or another cliff.
Instead of choosing to die off the cliff, they should have chosen the steep hill and then climbed back up to kick ass for having been kicked down a hill.
Apparently they’d rather choose the obviously far inferior of two options (even in their own analogy) and then complain about how bad it is, because at least they didn’t have to grovel?
Yeah, I don’t think their analogy suggests what they think it suggests.
They tell us the two options right there, and then immediately say they chose a nonexistent third option of walking away… Very apt comparison, just not in the way that they think.

See, what you’re doing is pretending that there was a third option of walking away and flipping the bird, when in reality that was never a choice.

The air and the drag are entities without a brain.
Bad analogy dude. The wind isn’t sentient. You cannot speak to the wind and convince it to change direction.
excellent analogy.

Edit: my phone can’t spell ‘comparison’

Your comparison is worse.
The options weren’t chocolate and vanilla. They were getting kicked down a steep hill or kicked off a cliff, and you seem flabbergasted that some people chose to flip the bird instead of groveling and thanking the democrats for only kicking them down a steep hill.

Pointless to engage further I think.

Bingo
