People who don't organize don't realize they're the ones who have tried nothing.

That's so bad... I mean what a waste of money, Americans do that so well themselves.

First time we’ve had a blowjob princess in the Oval Office. The fellater in chief will surely improve things.

I can’t even joke about the future without waves of dread ripping through my core out to the tips of my extremities. Is it going to be ok? It doesn’t feel like it’s going to be ok.

I'd say that Bill Clinton was also well positioned for the blowjob princess title

He was just a sexual predator.

I haven't been looking, but have the 3rd parties all vanished yet?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

3rd parties are just not viable in the US system. It's not set up for accomplishing change within a first to the post voting system.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

That was my point. They only show up every election to act as BS spoilers with zero chance of success and just as quickly as they appear, they vanish once the vote is over because it was all a con.

Not viable in the current presidential US system.

They have viability in local elections. And if they establish themselves and help pass ranked voting, then they can be potentially viable for presidential elections.

Unfortunately they have no hope of winning with the first past the post and strategic voting. Until that changes no substantial amounts of people will throw away their votes to them

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Seriously, if third parties actually cared then they would contest local elections and try to gain senate/house seats which could force democrats and republicans to work with them to pass legislation.

But when third parties only show up once every four years in the single biggest election it shows that either they’re trying to play spoiler or just doing a quick cash grab.

¿Por que no los dos?

Out of sight, out of mind.
