1. Your toddler isn't one out of many voters. If your toddler understood that advocacy for broccoli was the difference between him having to eat broccoli and him having to eat liver, I'm quite sure that his advocacy would be quite vociferous.

2. Your toddler is not a citizen with a share of the decision-making responsibility, and it's concerning that you choose to reduce your agency in this example to such an infantile state.

If I give my toddler a choice between eating broccoli or liver, he'll eat the broccoli but he sure as fuck won't be endorsing it

Did you just rationalize your political position using the reasoning of a toddler?

Because it sure looks like you did.

Failure is subjective.

True, but in this specific case, it's fact.
