Edit: What I’m saying is it’s a false dichotomy driven by our shitty political system that’s more focused on political points than actual leadership and governance.
Sorry, let me rephrase: it’s a manufactured reality. I’m not denying that it’s one that’s been sold as “the real” one, but at the end of the day it’s all manufactured and presents a false dichotomy which is only “real” because the people have been told that it is such and have accepted it. We can conceive of better and more rational systems. And I would argue it’s on us to do so and to push back against these false dichotomies
Of course not.

Political realities are, um, real. There’s no false dichotomy here.
