pull the R lever: more rape, fascism, genocide, omnicide, good chance your team wins;
pull the D lever: more oligarchy, genocide, with slightly slower omnicide, good chance your team wins;
pull the l, S, or G lever: reverse anthropogenic climate change, create an ethical economic system, sanction genocidal regimes, low chance your ideas win now - maybe later tho;
don’t pull any lever: let the 66% who vote decide.
pull the l, S, or G lever: reverse anthropogenic climate change, create an ethical economic system, sanction genocidal regimes, low chance your ideas win now - maybe later tho; NOTHING CHANGES
