      That’s a reasonable analogy.

      Of course, when every station is further from your destination than from where you originally started, there’s no point in even getting on the train.

        Sure, but if no station would get you anywhere close to where you want to be I’m not sure what you’re looking for from any political party.

          I’m merely describing how the ballot was incapable of recognizing the majority position of “No Genocide”: There were no “No Genocide” options available on the ballot. One cannot rationally conclude that the majority wanted genocide simply because a genocidal candidate won the election: There was no “no genocide” candidate to vote for.

          If the ballot is a train, the stations on this line are at the sewage treatment plant, the garbage dump, a stagnant swamp, and a rendering plant.

            The majority position was clearly pro genocide, hence trumps win. And as per the train analogy getting closer to the no genocide stop means not voting for the repubs, there was a better chance under Kamala.
