I keep voting for ice cream and I get told "we can't get ice cream because we have to vote to not go off a cliff again"

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

You get ice cream, just not as much as you want because some people refuse to vote.

Yeah, I think not going off a cliff is pretty important though.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Right, but eventually the cliff guys win and we go off the cliff anyway, and even if they never win we don’t ever get ice cream.

The solution seems we kick them out of the car.

But that's not how voting for a direction works. I think this analogy is just starting to fall apart after this much discussion, we've taken it too far haha.

Listen, I'm all for taking out the trash and not just taking small wins to survive, but I just don't see the path. I might be missing it, there's plenty I don't know, but survival at least would have let us survive a little longer.

I don’t see the path out of just surviving either.

Except maybe jumping out of the car.
