    convincing people the other guy’s worse.

    At its heart, voting is choosing the least-worse option.

    Our best case is being able to repeat this until the criminally-bad options are gone and we only have good options to choose from, but while life expectancy and objective happiness is far, far below what it should be for such a rich nation, you know we have some heavy evolution ahead.
