You're getting hung up. What the fuck good does any of that do? Tell me.

> Sure, I might be selling poop in a bag, and maybe nobody wants that. I can't blame people for not buying things they don't want. But the guy next to me is selling the Handmaid's Tale But In Real Life, and people are queuing up round the block to buy it. Those people looked at all the options -including abstaining and not buying anything at all - and still made a decision.

The point I was making with the poop-selling example is: you need to get outside your own head and your own biases. I don't think you're doing that. You're doubling down, making excuses for your side.

> They have to take ownership of that decision.

Sure, that would make you feel good, but it ain't going to happen. Quit tripping over it and move on.
