Depends on your country. In countries with proportional representation you can vote for the party you like. If you’re voting tactically you’re down to the coalition you like.
E.g. here in Norway we get minority coalitions all the time. It’s fine. They have to (gasp) cooperate with others to get anywhere.
Really, the only difference is how much blood you want to see. Result’s pretty much the same.
Considering modern US history you could put them in high school, I guess?
