    Reiterating how it sucks and you saw it coming also won’t change that this is the situation.

    This is real.

    That’s why it’s a trolley problem.

      No, but it does wake people up to the reality of what is and will continue to happen every election unless we collectively do something about it.

      What does gloating and exclaiming “haha, you’re stuck in this situation we’ve caused!” accomplish exactly?

      If you let your spouse handle your finances and they keep spending all your bill money on blackjack and hookers, the appropriate response from them isn’t “well the money is already spent. You bringing it up isn’t going to help anything!” when you see the shutoff notices from the water and power companies and confront them about it.
