choices

An online comment to an article about third party president candidate Gary Johnson read: "I never vote for a third party candidate because they never win."

Imagine someone who shops at a grocery store that only sells two kinds of fruit. When the shopper asks the manager why he doesn't carry other fruit, the manager says: "because we only sell two kinds of fruit." The person who posted the comment about third party candidates would be OK with the store manager's response.

Most of us realize that we have many more choices than two with just about everything--food, shelter, clothing, transportation, entertainment, etc. We vote with our shoes all the time--choosing to try something new rather than the same-old, same-old--particularly when the same old, same old isn't working.

Why is it that some people can't see the problem with having only two choices?
