not many ask

Yes, they do ask a lot, at least a far as I've seen. I still haven't seen a good alternative to voting for the lesser evil in a FPTP system.

They believe they already know what others think

My opinion on that was based on the whole "don't vote for Harris, she'll support genocide" thing I saw earlier this year. If I'm wrong about that, or anything else, I'm more than happy to be corrected.

no one could possibly have an alternative that they've not already considered

Most people don't think that no one could have a good alternative, they just don't know of anyone who does.

your scope of evaluation is only one cycle

You're assuming that's my only scope. Both the short term and the long term are important, but from what I've seen the short term tends to get ignored in this sort of community.
