27. Flawed analogy
First - this is the office of the President of the United States, not a personal job we're applying for. When it comes to something as important as President, I think that we can all sacrifice some self-interest and principle for the greater good.

Second - It's framed as a binary choice becuase IT IS a binary choice. Realistically, only one of two parties will win in November and you're either gonna have the better one or the worse one. And if you want to vote your concience, it's your vote, but don't insinuate that the ABB people are sheeple becuase they're willing to cede some of their principles for the greater good
