Voting Explained by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!

Prisoners: Hey, let us out of this prison! We did not do anything wrong!

Prison guard: Oh my god, you think you are in prison?? You are all free! You can leave whenever you want!

Prisoners: Okay well let us out then!

Prison guard: Sure thing! There are some keys hanging up next to the door. Should be a red one and a blue one.

[Long pause]

Prisoners: This key is not working! It is made of plastic and it is completely the wrong size. It is clearly not designed to open this lock.

Prison guard: Which key did you try?

Prisoners: The red one.

Prison guard: Ohh, that must be the wrong one. Try the blue one.

[Long pause]

Prisoners: The blue key does not work either! It is also a fake plastic toy that is not built for this lock, just like the red one!

Prison guard: You must not be doing it right. You have got to try harder. Really jam them in there and wiggle them around a bit.

[Very long pause]

Prisoners: It is not working!

Prison guard: Try harder!

Prisoners: We have been trying as hard as we can! We keep switching back and forth between the red key and the blue key and trying every different approach we can think of, and we have come nowhere close! These plastic keys are just fake childrens toys designed to distract us and keep us preoccupied so we will stay locked up! Give us the real keys!

Prison guard [sighs]: Okay, well, we do not like to encourage this, but there is a third key handing on the wall to your left.

Prisoners: This giant green one?

Prison guard: That is the one!

Prisoners: This thing is four feet long and made of styrofoam! There is not a chance in hell it can open that lock!

Prison guard: Okay well maybe just stick with the red and blue ones then.

Prisoner 1: I say we try the blue one!

Prisoner 2: Idiot! The red one is way better!

Prisoner 1: Blue one!

Prisoner 2: Red one!

Prisoner 1: Okay, well, let us ask everyone here. Everyone who thinks we should keep trying the blue one come over here onto this side of the prison, and everyone who thinks we should try the red one go over there with him.

Prisoner 3: Uhh, guys? That door does not look very thick. There are a whole lot of us, and there is only one prison guard. I am pretty sure if we all team up we could knock this door down and tie him up.

Prisoner 1: What are you, nuts??

Prisoner 2: Why go to all that trouble when we have got this perfectly good red key right here?

Prisoner 1: Blue key!

Prisoner 2: Red key!

Prisoner 1: Blue Key!

Prisoner 2: Red key!

Prison guard [leaning back and chuckling]: Gets them every time!
