I guess, to further the analogy - there’s likely a bus that will get you close to your destination, but you’ve got to walk the rest of the way (or vice versa), call that political activism.
and if there is a bus available to you and you don’t take it, you’re just a person yelling at buses, which helps no one (except maybe your mental health?).
Or alternatively you can use an ebike which is 3 times faster, or a regular bike which is 2 times faster if you have one, at least where I live. I don’t think comparing voting in the US to public transit which is also dysfunctional here is the flex you think it is.
That doeant mean you have to get on one of the two major busses. It’s completely fine to pick a third smaller bus. It might take longer to arrive, but it doesn’t smell like someone pissed on the seat.
both sides are pretty bad, but you still gotta get on the bus
Funny analogy because I’ve had instances where the public transit was so bad it was faster to walk the ~3-4 miles then use it

All the busses are going to the same place

ranked choice voting would open up so many more bus routes
