great, now even the government records will make shit up. Is every manager just slowly being lobotomized by the business fad industry?

the electoral college used by slave states to pad their votes with the 3/5ths compromise would like to have a word with you.

I'd expect De Gaulle would be approved of by the group of boomers that still make fun of france in 2024.

I'm saying that the problem here is that the problem isn't "Third parties" its "The Spoiler Effect".

You might think that's a distinction without a difference but if you say "We need to eliminate 3rd parties" that's a very different solution from "we need to eliminate the spoiler effect"

PS: Fuck that moron Jill Stein because she's only made this shit harder to talk about

"Now" is the only time to educate people about how the voting system needs to change and the "Less parties more good" mantra is the stupidest shit I've ever seen. The problem has a name and its called the "spoiler effect".

People talk about these issues during political season or they don't talk about them. Quit trying to solve a short term problem with a long term problem.

Netanyahu needs to be drone striked.

The problem here is that the 2 party FPTP system is propping up the republican minority party creating a catch 22 where in most countries the republican party would split between resulting in a centrist party and a "MAGA" party. Like if you look at the UK that's kind of what happened. But here in the US its created a zombie republican party controlled by fascists.

Like the fact that more states have not adopted viable ranked choice voting methods and constrained the electoral college system is currently why Trump even stands a chance today. The people deciding the 2024 election are like begrudging centrist-leaning republicans who are being given two choices they don't like and we'd all be better off if they could just get like a house rep isntead and didn't decide the president.

Ah so what matters is words not actions? Taking steps to remove 3rd parties from ballots is fine as long as you don't say it?
