No, I'd rather vote for vegan ice cream first, then vote against driving off a cliff.

Unfortunately our current system doesn't allow for that, so obviously I vote against driving off a cliff, but it feels so stagnating.

You will be please to hear that we are currently driving off the cliff. No more stagnation, isn't this great?

I'm referring to / summarizing the Ratchet Effect.

Obviously movement for the sake of movement is not inherently good. But when our only allowed form of action is to vote and we see that voting has no or negative effect, it seems fruitless.

Because a slightly more realistic scenario is that the Dems vote to just throw some people off the cliff, and that's agreed between the two parties.
