Ok yeah fine, if you don't pick one then some rando off the street chooses for you and you're forced to drink it.

Agreed. But it's not just some rando. It's the voice of a nation.

It is impossible to say what the voice of a nation is, and indeed impossible to separate the outcome from the selection process itself. For the purposes of this example, making it a random person is sufficiently illustrative in that the outcome is at once unpredictable but also shaped by popular beliefs by probability

Yes but that would pull attention away from the choice, which is the aspect being examined by the example. The purpose of the example is not to accurately model the system, but to focus in on that one particular choice.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Maybe Trump's election is the wake-up call that democrats needed to actually make some real change. Democrats are starting to make noise about the economy and income inequality and single payer health care now. So maybe Trump's election will actually turn out to be a good thing in the long run, because it'll cause the democrats to move farther to the left, and then they'll win back congress and the white house and actually get off their assholes and do something besides serve their corporate and wall street masters. (Just kidding. None of that will happen.)

At least oxballs is making cogent arguments. A lot of people in this thread aren't saying anything coherent, they're just name calling.

Maybe if the Democrats had tried to build bridges instead of going into full on attack mode, forcing him to ally himself deeper with party hardliners, those things wouldn't have happened. Well not the Saudi part but that's no different from the Democrats anyway.

But they need to keep him in check because neither side wants him to enact his populist policies

You aren't typing basic 1st grade punctuation. You put spaces where spaces shouldn't exist.
