RapidcreekMichigan Republican congressman suggests nuking Gaza, ending humanitarian aid
Those voting third party are ushering these guys in.
no, they’re not. the people voting for these guys are the ones ushering them in. people voting for a so-called third party are voting against these guys
No, sadly with the way US voting works at the moment the chances of a third party winning is microscopic, so voting for a third party is only taking votes away from the only party that stands a chance of beating the republicans. Statistically third party voters would be more likely to vote democratic than republican if they didn’t have a third party option, so in reality the more people voting third party the more they’re helping republicans with. It sucks but that’s the reality.
the more people voting third party the more they’re helping republicans win
only votes for republicans help republicans win
As much as it would be nice if the world worked that way, that’s not how the world works unfortunately.
it is. a vote for Cornel West must be counted for Cornel West, not any other candidate
Your votes don’t exist in a vacuum. There absolutely needs to be election reform to make third party voting a more viable option instead of a liability, but it hasn’t happened yet so for now you live in a reality where you’re voting in an imperfect system and trying to will the fantasy of a perfect system into existence isn’t helping anyone.
UltragigagiganticCan you explain why the voting system is this way in states democrats fully control?
I’m happy to inform you that there are Democrat-controlled states and localities that have successfully passed ranked-choice voting.
And there are states that have BANNED ranked-choice voting as well. I’ll let you guess which party was behind those.
So does this change your stance on whether Democrats are doing anything to change first-past-the-post voting systems?
