      Nobody puts a bar 100 miles from anywhere. People don’t drive an hour and a half to go to bar.

          I bet there are more third-party candidates in America than bars that are 100 miles from anything.

            Probably true. What’s your point? The hypothetical situation is anything but realistic. It’s a conversational vehicle to expose a forced choice dynamic, and to a lesser extent harm-reduction.

            Do you think we’re in the bar right now?

              I love that you have to make up impossible scenarios to justify why you won’t vote third party.

                1. I didn’t make it up.
                2. Scenarios with obvious limitations and specific stories are used to highlight critical thinking concepts in simple ways for audiences who don’t grasp the situation.

                They aren’t the only way to discuss a situation, but the above comment deemed a simplified hypothetical was conversationally useful.

                I guess they were optimistic lol

                  But you’re the one who suggested the bar was 100 miles away from anything.

                  And even then, you could still probably get an Uber. It would be pricey, but that’s your fault for going to a bar 100 miles away from anything.

                    I specified it to try to help with your…troubles. No Uber.

                    Stop trying to dodge the scenario, that’s how a kid tries to squirm out of rules about chores.

                    You either get it, and address it, or you don’t.

                    Fiddling with how you don’t accept the details is just making it clear you aren’t ready to address the underlying concept.
