[two characters are talking in front a modern city full of skyscrapers]

[blue, annoyed] I feel betrayed by the current political system! Let’s get rid of it, I want major changes now!

[green] You naive fool, the only thing we can realistically accomplish is gradual reforms

[blue] Okay then, I’ll vote for you, now please actually do some gradual reforms

[now in a political office, green is sitting behind the desk, dressed in a suit, looking presidential]

[green, smirking smugly while shrugging] Sorry, best I can do is constantly move to the right to please conservatives, the current political system leaves us no other choice

[blue is looking both pissed and defeated, has no words]

    I’d like to point out that can actually play your system by building voting blocs to defend your interests.

    But then they might have to say mean things to liberal proto-fascists and that might lead to the creation of the fourth Reich (ignore the Nazis in government those don’t count).
