      I’m not sure I understand the question.

      Trying to answer, I’d say that the prompt is being created by a “boolean brain”.

      Sorry if that seems harsh.

      The American ballot has never been boolean (true or false, 2 answers accepted ONLY, in code 0 or 1, in practice apples or oranges).

      America had always had ballots explicitly designed to not be boolean.

      You can pick blue. You can pick red. You can pick “naw”, you can pick chartreuse (Ross perot).

      The American ballot has always been designed for democracy.

      This cycle, more than any cycle in the past, I feel we are being bullied into “Pick geriatric white male genocidal tyrant A or pick geriatric white male genocidal tyrant B”.

      One wholesale geriatric white male genocides, but can sit for an hour speaking (outrageously stupid) sweet nothings to the crowds.

      The other geriatric white male genocides, but can’t get 12 words into an isolated white house address before fucking it all up and shuffling out the door like his pampers are full.

      I reject the narrative that American democracy is boolean.

      I’d love Ro Khanna running for president with Bernie Sanders as his VP, running Independent. I would vote for that all day for 1000 days.

      Since I won’t be able to vote for that, I plan on abstaining, and hoping for liberal leadership that is anti war, would never engage in genocide, who will give Flint clean drinking water, and above all else, deserves a fucking vote.
