SCENE: Mitch BERG is walking through the Roseville Best Buy, looking for a USB-C to HDMI cable, when, engrossed in thought, he fails to notice Avery LIBRELLE walking up behind him.
LIBRELLE: Merg!
BERG: Er, hi, Avery. Just kinda busy…nñ
LIBRELLE: Voters need to stop voting against their best interests, and vote Progressive!
BERG: Because “progressivism”…
LIBRELLE: Why are you making scare quotes?
BERG: …is everyone’s best interests?
LIBRELLE: Of course!
BERG: So the places where “progressives have control are the places where all our “best interests” are being seen to?
LIBRELLE: Yes! Yes! Yes! We may be making progress here!
BERG: So places like Detroit, Cleveland, Newark, Camden, Baltimore, Chicago, Saint Louis, North Minneapolis, Oakland and New Orleans represent our “best interests”? Or California, the entire state, which is looking more and more like Venezuela?
LIBRELLE: Um…
BERG: Yes?
LIBRELLE: You see, the problem with “best interests” is that they’ve never been tried in their truest form.
BERG: Huh. Where have I heard that before?
LIBRELLE: You haven’t.
BERG: Of course not.
