Thanks for your patience and understanding with the rest of us!
Because of your insight, I now realize that [statistically speaking] every time I choose a 7-up, instead of a Pepsi, I am voting for Coke!
I never knew! Shazam!!!
You might like to review this book at Amazon...
You also may want to review the following information to take your understanding of American elections even farther. I believe you will be amazed when you come to understand this on a deeper level!
Do you believe this Republic will survive another four years of the little barry bastard commie and his gaggle of thuggish goons? Do you think Romney and Obama would appoitn the same judges to the SCOTUS?
BTW, the analogy presented by presidio is valid if you were comparing the purchases of Coke with other soft drinks of similar nature, with a given background purchasing populace who will choose either coke or any other soft drink. Ridiculing an analogy because you don't like the stark truth contained therein is an alinsky tactic, if you didn't know already.
This analogy only applies if we assume a final election, where one soft drink would be chosen, after wich point no other soft drink would be available. In that case, say you preferred Sprite, were not particularly fond of Pepsi, but you flat-out HATED Coke. In that case, you'd better have the Pepsi, like it or not. Otherwise, the point you are trying to make does not apply.
