    Yes, for Cthulhu’s sake, everyone get in and bail like your life depends on it. Let’s plan the next 4 years telling politicians where to lug the holes, rather than risk spending the entire four years vpbaling like crazy while still sinking lower and lower, with someone running around drilling more holes when you’re not looking

      Imagine if in this metaphor, the captain of the ship was swapped out every four years, with their completely own itinerary.

        That’s fine because as the crew we can mutiny and install our own Captain.

          Half the passengers want to do just that and install a captain who is hell-bent on chasing a white whale and wants to institute forced cannibalism for anyone on board with navigational skills

            The not ravenous and bloodthirsty side is bigger and stronger. They just can’t stop bickering long enough to give the others a sharp kick to the ass.
