I'm waiting for jatone to chime in. Humans aren't good at logic problems, especially real world ones where they don't have to follow instructions. Ever try giving a logic puzzle to a 6 year old and they answer "well I wouldn't do either of those things I'd buy an airplane and use a laser gun and then....."
That's what this stuff is. While I understand the desperate need to reform the system, you don't do that by throwing the game. I know how unlikely it is to change their minds (and they already voted) but others reading this who aren't as bull-headed might take half a second to re-evaluate the actual outcomes available from the actions to be taken. That's the hope anyways.
Good on you for remaining hopeful! In cases like this, though, the ignorance is willful. They know how absurd they're acting. Once the conversation goes past the point of their ability to just be obstinate, they abruptly cease responding.
And that lack of response will be another data point for anyone reading this in the future.
