An Automotive Analogy

I've been doing further thinking about a presidential race with unpopular candidates. Here's the analogy that came to me, see what you think.

You work for a company which will provide you with a company car you'll use for the next four years. You'd like something sexy, or maybe a rugged 4x4.

Your company says your choices are limited to a full size Chevy or Ford 4-door sedan. They will provide one or the other in white, your choice.

Since you drive a lot of miles on your job and will live with it for four years, you go test drive both, and check out their various features. Then you choose.

This election is a lot like that. The major parties are telling you your choice is Trump or Clinton. Your self-appointed job is to figure out which you'd rather spend the next four years with, and vote accordingly.
