Biden is loving this. More fuel for the fire to force you to vote for him regardless of what he does. This is dangerous. Fight for RCV!

Ranked choice voting. A system that is FAR better than our current system, but stands as a threat to our complacent two parties, and therefore will never become a realization.

[-] HopeOfTheGunblade@kbin.social 4 points 4 months ago

Shouldn't you be able to get it in in at least some states via ballot measures, from where you can use it to send better people to DC to implement it federally?

[-] Mog_fanatic@lemmy.world 11 points 4 months ago

It's already in some states. Alaska has implemented it I believe and Nevada passed the vote for it once but still needs to vote again this year on it to switch over.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 1 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah 1000%. I should have figured that out but its bedtime 🤣

Rcv : random commercial vehicles. Now your government literally drives over you.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

The amount of Biden lovers in this site is always impressive. Just look at this downvotes...

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

It’s not Biden lovers. It’s sheeple blindly subscribing to the Democratic Party. Could be any Democrat candidate and they’d be blindly loyal. Similar psychology to sports fans or Apple lovers. Their identity and self worth is tied to the Democratic Party.

Not sure why anybody would downvote RCV tho, unless it’s just ignorance.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I mean, both parties are pretty ignorant as a whole since that was part of the grander plan. So sad they don't pull their collective hearts out of the ground and look at what is really happening

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

It’s fear. Look at the downvotes. Nobody wants to be ostracized from their community. We all just want to be accepted. The Democratic Party flourishes through fear, guilt and peer pressure.

[-] HurlingDurling@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I agree, I guess I don't care to be ostracized because I rather do what's right for me than just do whatever everyone else is doing just to "fit in"

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Def not how the majority thinks

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Just like the Republican party.. They're going to take yure gas car, gas stove, gun etc They're going help all the illegals Etc etc BS nonsense

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Two sides of the same coin. Nobody here is saying republicans don’t run on fear but people don’t want to admit dems are the same.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Sorry I want a livable planet.

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Exactly my point. People think dems are gonna save the world. If you’re afraid to vote for an alternative candidate or party, they’ve brainwashed you.

[-] buzz86us@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Trump is willing to sell out the planet for 1 billion dollars from big oil to limit EV transition. Sorry I'm voting Biden again. This isn't about competition it is about survival. We need to stop flogging a dead horse.

[-] venusaur@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

See they got you stuck. Doesn’t have to be just two options. Doesn’t have to be survival.

Find your local RCV group and fight for it in your city/state at the federal level unless you already have it.
