What if one person pulls to the right and the other actively gives out more and more rope, telling bystanders he's trying to "work with the other side to find a common middle ground"?
If you don't pull you're actively giving up more rope than anyone. That's exactly the point.
IMO there's no one to vote for in Presidential elections who pulls the rope to the left.
There's one guy pulling it to the right and another one who wants to use the rope to strangle the referee.
