Who's "us"? We're against the uniparty. Not in favor of it.
Good thing the idea of a "uniparty" is fucking idiotic and not even remotely close to correct and is just a pathetic excuse for Republicans who don't want to admit that they're in favor of everything going on.
Until we have ranked choice, "us" is the anti Republican contingent.
You never vote FOR a candidate in a first past the post election. You vote AGAINST who you hate most. And not voting counts as a vote for who you hate most because it lowers their bar to win. It's unfortunately how the math works out.
I hate Democrats most because they block any meaningful progress to an alternative. What does that mean?
It means you're bad at strategy and privileged enough to not be too harmed by Republican policies.
Nobody is going to take strategy advice from ride or die Democrats, mate, you are the world champions of losing elections
I haven't been s Democrat in decades. I also understand how first past the post works.
The current situation sucks, but we're stuck in it. Provide an alternative strategy that doesn't rely on hopes and dreams, and I'm in.
Mate, your strategy is literally "do not criticize the party!"
You're on no position to accuse other people of relying on hopes and dreams.
What is the purpose of criticizing them online to each other?
What is the purpose of demanding to people online that they don't criticize The Party?
To try and get everyone pulling the same direction so we don't lose again, and to get people to understand that FPTP is not about voting FOR a good candidate. It's about voting AGAINST the bad.
You really are a champion at missing the point
Why thank you! It's good to be recognized as successful in my field.
Well at least you're honest about being a troll
Nah, it's just that when a conversation devolves into personal insults I know that I'm correct and the other person has given up.
Funny, I know I'm correct and the other person has given up when they start deliberately playing dumb and pretending to miss the point
The democrats failing to block Republicans and running on dogshit policy that helps nobody got us here. You have to be pretty fucking awful to lose to Donald fucking trump twice.
Yep! It's their fault. They failed to vote.
Also, they were dressed to sexily, so of course this happened.
