It's amazing how the spoiler effect propaganda from the DNC gets eaten up so easily by voters when a better system of rank choice voting would prevent the thing issue completely.

If the Democrats actually ran on these issues you stated seriously and were not so spinless they wouldn't have to try to fight third party candidates from running in court to push subpar empty suit politicians through the finish line.

Even in their own party, centrist candidate Dean Phillips tried to run against Biden and he had a media blackout and was actively fighting the DNC while the power at be pushed Joe "just a stutter" Biden.

If Jill Stein is such a threat maybe don't push the 81 year old incumbent on your base and with no primary to stress test his viability. Then when his brain shorts out during a debate and he drops THEY STILL don't primary Kamala who's 2020 run was absolutely destroyed the second people started listening to her word salad no answer bullshit get called out by Tulsi Gabard's grifter ass.

I mean, optical illusions have been used to fool audiences for years.

This is a motion picture of course but the idea is "faking" an image isn't too far off.

I would agree with you maybe 10 years ago but I think that the empire being in such decline and leading us to the worst candidates back to back to back it's really hard for me to believe that third parties are to blame for the spoiler effect. Taking third parties off the ballot most likely wouldn't have the effect that people put on them because everyone has an opinion on the two candidates more than ever.

Without looking at any statistics or polling, I think the spoiler effect is not as prominent and is over stated for one reason.

If I'm going out of my way to not vote for the Democrats or Republicans and voting third party that would mean that I dislike my options so much that I'm giving a fuck you to the two party system.

What people can gather from this is if you said there was only two options I would just sit out and therefore it wasn't going to affect either candidate regardless.

I'm open to be convinced otherwise but I think candidates blaming spoilers should look at the electoral college and themselves when every 4 years they are ready to blame single digit candidates for their losses.

Shit sign me up! If Trump wins I get 100 dollars if he loses I get 100 dollars.

For the equivalent of $402 a month plus having no input into what is the dream job can leave you feeling empty for sure.

I agree sounds awesome until you realize you are at a bullshit job and are not even making headway or money doing what you trained for.

Fastest I've seen was a game called "Hyenas". It was an extraction shooter from Sega and right when it was going to launch they knew the juice wasn't worth the squeeze and cancelled a completely finished game weeks out from launch.

You would think so but you basically are making a patch work version of the illicit actual media so it's a dark dark gray area for sure.

It was good fan service and kept my attention, 8 out of 10 because they did their homework and wrote in characters well enough while giving wolverine a reason to come back.
