My battery is dead.

My battery's been marginal for months now, but other batteries are clearly worse.

And these jumper cables aren't even a real part of my car!

My electrons are obviously just disloyal.

The root cause is Bernie. Rant about him as much as you can until that battery starts working again.

Not certain if this is a negative post or a positive post. To carry the analogy.

Reverse the cables and your car will run, but only in reverse.
