Allies of President Biden are stepping up calls for Democrats to rally around the president following negative commentary and splits from inside the party over whether he should forgo reelection. F…
So, you have a choice. a less than perfect candidate, or someone who has already endorsed the idea of suspending the Constitution and A-bombing Palestine.
Why? When have you ever had a perfect candidate? I like what NYC ex-mayor Ed Koch said. “If you agree with me 51% of the time, vote for me. If you agree with me 100% of the time, see a doctor.”
Yeah, but in a first-past-the-post system, you don’t.
Is that complete and utter crap, should the FPTP system be launched into the sun and replaced with a system that actually gave people choices, would a parliamentary system be better, is the Electorate College just an abomination based on a compromise with long dead slave owners, should every vote carry the same weight?
Well, there you go.
But in the current system, you’ll only ever have two choices.
How many times in U.S. History have the 3rd or 4th options been elected to the office of President? When the answer is zero, how do you count them as options?
You are literally more likely to win the lottery than you are to elect a third party to U.S. President.
It happened because of the 40 years of failure of the democratic party in their ambivalence to the willing efforts of the republican party to destroy democracy. They will fail us in the defense of democracy. All that continues not to demand a fundamental change are the problem.
The system wasn’t rigged, Bernie’s “base” couldn’t be assed to turn out.
His support underperformed the share of millennials and Zoomers that were in the voting pool by then, nevermind how much they could have dominated with boomers leaning so much more to the Republicans.
Bernie lost because his supporters want all the praise of being revolutionary without doing any of the work of fermenting a revolution.
You mean people who voted and put the first black man into the white house? They did more for civil rights than you are tryna justify why letting Caligula Jackson win is fine and dandy.

I expect to have more options on my ballot.

I expect to have more options because I usually do.

So choose wisely.
I usually have 4 or more options on my ballot
