I was really loving this game until the ending, where it finally reared its squishy neolib head in the form of an unshakable belief in the Power of the Vote. To get the best ending, you have to ignore that the fascist leader of this country has full control of the coercive and media arms of the state. You have to ignore the many instances where people mention that the elections are rigged in his favor, and the nightly state media polls that show him with universal support. You have to ignore that the police are able abduct teenagers to work in prison camps so easily that no one is exactly sure the camps even exist.
In spite of all of this, resistance isn't the answer! Kids are being shot at the border, but using violence as a response is only going to lead to many of the characters dying. But if you can convince enough people to vote for the progressive (maybe? She never appears in person and you never hear about her platform or policies) choice, then the fascist will step down in a peaceful transfer of power and restore the democracy we all cherish. All that's missing is a fast forward to a year later when the Florres administration hasn't shut down the teen work camps yet because what do you expect her to do? She only has a slight majority in the Senate. We need to stop complaining about her and focus on getting the vote out for midterms.
