I liken this election to walking into a grocery store and your only choices are a head of cabbage and a week-old, open bag of stale Flaming Hot Cheetos.<p>The dumb part of your brain says "both of these options suck". And your brain naturally wants to say "at least the Flaming Hot Cheetos have flavor and are interesting".<p>Maybe you actually want stale Flaming Hot Cheetos. I will not judge you for that. But for everyone else who is despairing that "both choices are bad", I <i>implore</i> you to reconsider. While both choices are unappealing, that does not mean there's not a substantive difference between the two. Your brain is being tricked.<p>I will not waste your time trying to sell you on how good or exciting a head of cabbage is. You can walk away with the bag of stale Cheetos, telling yourself how much you love it and how anyone who would want to eat a cabbage is stupid. They are stale, they are untrustworthy, they will make you sick and paranoid. Or you can pick up the cabbage, know that you made an adult choice, and walk away with a clean conscious.
