      I actually like this scenario for US elections. The two parties are throwing parties onto the two track options while the oligarchy creates and maintains the system. What we need here is to get this train off the tracks in the first place. The switches are our voting system. We get a chance to get off this train at the polls, but we always choose to get right back on.

      Again you misrepresent the actual critique of the democrats. There’s the same number of people on both set of tracks.
      Incidentally, there’s also other tracks with no people on them, but whenever anyone suggests maybe trying one of those tracks, the people like you will insist there’s only two tracks.
      You will also insist you have to pull the lever.

      Edit: to go further
      Whenever you pull the lever it gets harder to pull it to any other track than the two you insist upon.
      Pulling the lever to the two tracks you insist are the only viable ones makes the train go faster.
      Whenever you pull the lever, more people are added to the tracks.
      You will insist there only people on one set of tracks, and you will only notice those people when the train is not on your set of tracks (that has the same number of people on it)
