Well, people are still free to vote 3rd party, or write-in, or stay at home. I don’t agree with any of those choices but I recognize that some people are going to make them.

So I don’t think the menu analogy works.

An election is not a dinner party.

No need to overcomplicate the point. Simply pick from the available candidates or run yourself. Too often, I hear conservatives demand that someone else should run for office and have this view and that view. It's always someone else that must step up; never the person doing all the complaining. The only perfect candidate is yourself.

Actually, I think it might work. People can also go to a different restaurant, cook at home, or just not eat.

This one sure isn't.
