That's also the thing about "lesser of two evils" rhetoric. Even if it's framed as a false-equivalency, there's still the whole point about them being *LESS EVIL* :D

In my mind-- that speaks to a form/process that's not well-suited to the stress someone might be under when filling it out. Extra details like you suggest would be perfect.

Is it perhaps interesting/valuable to think they're going to spend so much energy *this early* in the not-even-current-to-election-year phase that it'll have much effect come *next* november? It's totally different world then.

I got a "final notice, don't lose your files!" email from them about a year ago, and continue to get warnings about potentially lost images if I don't act soon. Talk about devotion.

I love these comparisons... I usually think about how old Hey Ya! is now compared to how old "Sitting on the dock of the bay" was when I was listening to "oldies" stations in the '80s... ;) Or the best one for me is Cleopatra being closer to us than the age of the Pyramids themselves.

Such a superficial understanding of art/design/fads -- sure, the car bodies changed (and what pop songs, music styles people listened to) a bit, but that's what nostalgia-fueled movies like AG focus on! Cruising culture and teen/young adult activities are 100% relatable even today, decades later.

All you have to do is create a scenario where you're out of service/battery/no wifi. Even more terrifying than in the before-times when that was the basic assumption, and people could read maps, etc. :)
