This is kind of a good analogy for ranked choice voting, to be honest.
These kind of idiotic, condescending analogies are all that libs have to offer. That's literally why they lose.
Keep upvoting tho. Feel good about yourselves. That's the real win. \s
(edit: Bonus points for this devolving into carnist attacks on veganism.)
"Harm reduction is lib behavior"
Wow.

The projection is astounding.
You would eventually "drive off a cliff" with either party, as they will softlock you into never having better choices, and the overton window will keep moving to the right. The only possibility out is to vote third party.

It's astounding that an analogy seeking describe the process of voting in a FPTP system in terms so simple a child can understand is still so consistently misunderstood by Politically Serious People.

i also realize i've fallen off three cliffs (one of them several times) and there is definitely ice cream that makes you want to drive a bus over a cliff. you ever had that nasty chocolate ice cream that leaves your mouth feeling chalky?
