    If the two restaurants both serve shitty food, there’s not as much judgement for eating a shit sandwich. Because everyone eating at a restaurant is eating ahitry food. It becomes normalized.

    The “good” restaurant becoming ahittier doesn’t steal customers from Shit Sandwiches, it just makes people think that shit sandwiches isn’t as crazy as it seems because both restaurants serv shit.

    Which still fits.

    Dems moving to the right year after year and adopting things like fracking and a border wall when a decade ago we said only a racist idiot would want those things… Makes the average American question if other “conservative” ideas are really as bad as Dems say they are, or if 5 years both parties would want them.

    It only hurts the left and helps the right

      I agree it absolutely hurts the left and helps the right, but we disagree on the cause. Remember in your analogy the food quality is not the only thing that diners care about. They are being lured to the shitty restaurant by stuff that has nothing to do with food at all.

        Yep.

        So making the “good” restaurants food shitty only hurts their business, and their the only ones with the power to set their menu.

        We can protest, leave bad reviews, stop going to the restaurant, anything to communicate that we would eat there more if they had better food.

        But at the end of the day it’s up to the handful of people running the restaurant/party what they serve up.

          not if the customers they’re losing don’t care about food. I think we’re gonna have to agree to disagree here.
