Great, I get to choose between two real estate developers for city council. Guess I'll vote for the one who doesn't have a history of domestic abuse.
First past the post doing what it does.
Still worth pulling the "less evil" lever for, you know, less evil.
It isnt first past the post. It is bourgeois democracy. Things would be the same if there was one party or twenty so long as the bourgeoisie own the state.
yeah people keep saying that but i've been voting for less evil my whole life and all i get is more evil
Typical hexbear user
Either you’re creating anti democratic propaganda or you’re consuming and regurgitating it. Fuck off.
Nah I think the people who constantly make the most barbaric decisions or excuse why they can't revert them are the ones being anti-democratic.
Wouldn't those with the power given to them by the population who then act against what those voters want be the anti-democratic ones?
I struggle to see how potential voters pointing out they never get what they ask for is the reason for any of our problems today.
Typical hexbear user observing the world. Maybe next time if you
hard enough it'll finally work
Ohh yeah, you always get more evil, but it is earnestly less of it.
You prefer +1 evil or +10 evil? That's our system of government. Push for voting reforms, which neither evil likes, but you are more likely to get with +1 evil then +10.
Okay then clearly dismantling the system of government that only produces evil ourcomes is the place to start
Typical hexbear! Suggesting we should address systemic issues to improve society somewhat. Don't you see +1 evil is the best we can ever have? I am very intelligent and an Adult in the Room(tm)
hmmm yeah sounds like the entire system of government is dogshit and needs to go
It does sound like that, but have you considered
blue no matter who?
Hey, uh, I think this thing is broken
Nah, it's working as intended, if you look back here both levers are pressing this button that says 'Barbarism'
This is the thing they can't admit. That the system isn't broken. It works exactly how its meant to, for the people ots meant to wirk for.
For libs its always some magic bullet, some minor reform, one reversal of one policy and it'll all be fixed. "The problem is 'first past the poll' we need 'ranked choice' then elections will work." For example
