I dunno, maybe the analogy works?
On the one hand, we can all sit around and wait to die while doing silly, pointless, banal things like casting nonsense ballots determining which of the terrorists should get to be in the cockpit (presidency) as they intentionally crash the plane. Or we can say fuck it, let's take a chance at living through this and maybe saving who knows how many others in the process by rushing the fuckers, sabotaging them, or at least refusing to aid them in their campaign of terror. I'd vote for the latter.
