SaltyAmericanThey prevent liberation by selling you back your chains with populous rhetoric and slogans
As long as we have this broken first-past-the-post electoral system, I will vote blue, no matter what. When we have something better (proportional representation, for example), I will entertain more nuanced parties. Until then, at least the D leaders haven’t actively dismantled democracy.
So you want everyone else to do the work and when that job is finished you will hop on our bandwagon and proclaim you always supported us?
gwl [he/him]It’s not “hopping on the bandwagon”, with the way your election system is rigged, there are only two options for a lot of places, anything else is a wasted vote
If you got rid of the Electoral Colleges and the FPP then suddenly it’s not a wasted vote
And you know what changes first past the post? Democrats getting off their ass and voting for actual nondemocrat or socialist candidates. If they are pushed past the post by Democrats, then they win. It’s as simple as that. Trying to reform a party that is operating exactly as designed will always lead to failure
No, all that will do is make republicans win in former Dem safehouses
You woefully underestimate how much the deck is intentionally stacked against everyone but the big two
then their party needs to work harder to EARN those votes
Yes! Genius!
Why has nobody thought of that before???
Oh wait… they have. It was found to not work unless you’re in a “safe” voting block, and if you’re living anywhere with any amount of swing to it, you INSTEAD make the party you hate win.
I hate them both
Cool, but one is trying to destroy your rights quickly, one is telling to do it slowly, which is better?
Slowly!
Your daily reminder that BlueMaga liberals don’t consider foreigners human
They also don’t consider anyone outside of their echo chamber as human
Who built the infrastructure for one team to do it quickly?
You gotta pick your fucking battles
Oh, I have picked my battles and my battle is against Democrats and Republicans.
You’ve accidentally made it against just the Dems then. The republicans don’t care if you don’t vote for them, they’ll win through your lack of opposition.
It really isn’t
No, I’m saying that inaction is as bad as supporting them
And so the best decision in a Swing State is what? Not voting for any of the big 3?
That’s inaction, as the fucked up voting system makes any other vote worthless
Definitely not
You never have to. You get the genocidal bigots you want either way. One just gets where you want quicker.
Slow is better than fast.
Slow means you have a chance to fight back.
A chance to turn the tables.
Delaying tactics from people who only fight against the left.
