Airfare to California from Colorado is going to be less expensive and a shorter flight time than from New York.

It's still a bad analogy because unless you plan on disappearing into the wilderness, you will still have to get on one of the buses. It's more like... you're already on the bus going to New York. It's now in, poo poo I dunno, Iowa. If your goal is to get to California, changing buses to Colorado is better than continuing on to New York, no?

My lens is pretty personal because I know a child who will die and a family who will be destroyed if the Republicans have their way with health care, so I don't have the patience to let things burn out of spite or accelerationism whatever rationale there is for checking out and giving Trump another 4 years.

Our current system is a two party system until the fundamentals change. Either operate in it or work to change the system. Since that is not happening in the next 3 months you can choose Trump or Biden. The GOP actions of the last ten years have encouraged a harder, more vocal liberal reaction this time around. I am optimistic but only time will tell.

Any serious 3rd party action will be absorbed by one of the two parties.

You have to participate in a broken system because we can't fix it now. Why can't we fix it? Because everyone is participating in it, of course.

You should just argue about buses going to Colorado then.

I think our system needs to be change at a fundamental level and it needs to happen now but I have no idea how to make this happen. Entrenched interests and opposition to change will stymy every attempt.

The House and Senate are unable to pass anything and the executive will be hamstrung by that and be stuck trying marginal change through EO. Local level politics are where its at.
