    that’s a load of shit… you have exactly 2 options to vote for in an FPTP system, and that’s just game theory and maths… you can be RIGHTLY pissy at the system, but it’s the system you have to work within until it changes

    complaining that people don’t vote third party in the US is like complaining that gravity stops you from flying around the world by just jumping: you’re right, it’d be great! but that’s just not how reality works

    and blaming people who are largely pulling in the same direction as you (ie away from the far right) is counterproductive to shifting left (and let’s be clear here: we’re not talking about actual left in the US: that’s a long way off; but not far right is still further left than the racist shit sandwich you have right now), and is so straight out of the election rigging playbook that your motives are completely in question, or you’re just wilfully ignorant of how your electoral system works (but ignorance here is still hugely dangerous: this is how you get the world more trump)

      You think this change is gonna happen without a fight? Democrats are not trying to shift left when their entire party is shifting to the right, as a result your party has given us trump 2 times. Your method of governing is an abject failure.

        so fight! but then also vote the way you have to until the system changes

        Democrats are not trying to shift left

        obviously, but when it comes to the ratchet effect better the option that doesn’t sprint head long to fascism

        as a result your party

        it ain’t my party mate; i’m australian… american choices effect the entire world

        Your method of governing is an abject failure.

        and what would that be? because i’m strongly against the system the US uses to elect it’s government and its general method of governing

        however

        you can’t fight reality: game theory and statistics exist, and the system to elect representatives in america is what it is and UNTIL THAT CHANGES, those are just facts
