Huh? If you're vegan then both of those options are equally disgusting to you and you'd probably choose to skip this meal

Vegans generally aren't vegan because of taste preferences.

One of those is clearly worse than the other. Yeah - neither is a vegan option, but they're the only choices. That means that whether or not they're vegan doesn't matter.

The last part of the prompt is that you have to eat one of them. Because that's what a general election is. You'll end up having one of those meals going down your throat no matter what. Refusing to choose is essentially choosing cannibalism and eating broken glass.

Deciding not to vote because one issue you care about isn't on the ballot is choosing to let the world burn. The world has a lot of problems, and ignoring them all in order to continue not fixing one is idiotic.

Or I just go without eating. Skipping a meal every now and then never hurt anyone.
