[two characters are talking in front a modern city full of skyscrapers]

[blue, annoyed] I feel betrayed by the current political system! Let's get rid of it, I want major changes now!

[green] You naive fool, the only thing we can realistically accomplish is gradual reforms

[blue] Okay then, I'll vote for you, now please actually do some gradual reforms

[now in a political office, green is sitting behind the desk, dressed in a suit, looking presidential]

[green, smirking smugly while shrugging] Sorry, best I can do is constantly move to the right to please conservatives, the current political system leaves us no other choice

[blue is looking both pissed and defeated, has no words]

Mistake #1 letting politicians speak for you.

Mistake #2 listening to what the politicians are saying.

Mistake #3 believing a single word a politician says.

Yes but they'll pull the rug out from under you and fellate Israel as soon as they're in.

Which of why you should vote for me. I'll let you stand on the rug while I fellate Israel and set the rug on fire.

Ah, gradual reforms.
