This is a fantastic observation.

Thanks to the disaster that is first past the post, that battle will either

A) be fought and won as a battle for control of the Democratic party, or

B) be a fight between democrats and new party, with Republicans emerging the victors.

The only option under first past the the post is a united left and center, including the corporatist fascist-chasers. We need to unite (which is easier under better, progressive ideas) as one giant anti-extremist blockade.

Any plan that does not factor in the facts in this video has a 100% chance of failing: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

Dissatisfaction must be channeled in ways that do not feed further failure.

This account is might be one to un-block. Does great work on spreading awareness about how terrible first past the post is. A necessary component of a saved world. It's not all bad.

Everybody who was voting age was old enough to remember the trauma of 2016-2020 without reminders. Yes the dems should leverage everything anyway, but even the non-politically-aware have it in working recent memory. We can take that out of the list of causes.

Fediverse still has linux and github vibes. Which is good in terms of functioning and free and made in the spirit of comraderie. And bad in terms intuitive and easy usability.

Programmers either don't understand that "nice to look at and use" is actually a really important aspect of an app/program, or it's a lot harder to do that well than it seems from the outside. I really don't know. When it's just one person making the whole thing, it makes sense that they split their work where they can.

But when you're dealing with a serious contender for a major platform, it's not optional anymore, and it's not a normie thing.

Yeah but Ukraine can lose twice.

Any system where your vote is a list instead of a checkbox.

That way in 2016 you can vote for Bernie as 1, and if he loses, you can vote for Hillary by putting her as 2. You don't have to give up your moonshot to get your safety net.

Great video on the problems with first past the post, with links to some other videos discussing better systems: https://youtu.be/s7tWHJfhiyo

It's still good to know he doesn't have one, be able to prove it, and say it a lot all over the place with the receipts in hand.
