@FireMonkey The basics here is that like it or not we have a two party system.
There are two items on the menu. A stale piece of white bread and a shit sandwich with ground glass and ebola in it. Because of the way the system works everyone is getting the dish with the most votes like it or not.
So if you come along and vote for 'chicken salad' your vote is automatically going to help the dish with the most votes because it will counter the people who thought bland was better than deadly.
