Ahh yes, the mental gymnastics of the Blue CHUD. They're barely better than MAGA if at all.
The are not better, they are worse for claiming to protect the interests of the marginalized, while making sure they stay marginalized
Don't forget that you're a Russian bot if you dare imagine outside the 2 party system within 1.5yrs of an election.
Or the "trust me bro, it'll all get fixed with RCV".
Or the "3rd party is literally impossible, the US is my only sample".
Or the "you're complicit for every bad thing if you don't vote".
Don't forget that you're a Russian bot if you dare ~~imagine outside the 2 party system~~ think or say anything critical of the dems ~~within 1.5yrs of an election~~ anytime or place.
The US is a two parties system. You need to change your rules if you want anything different, not abstain from primaries.
Instead, the best place to talk about rule-changes is on your primaries.
I caught one!
The US is 2 parties by convention, not by design. They've worked together to entrench themselves to make it exceedingly difficult for a 3rd party to rise, last thing they want is for another farmer-labor party to form.
If a simple majority is required to rule, then logically two parties will form somewhere near 50% support. The fact that other parties have existed in the past is an exception to the logical conclusion of two party rule inherent in the design itself.
2 counterexamples off the top of my head: UK and Canada.
Those are parliamentary systems of government...
Yes, I'm aware. How does that materially change the outcome on the number of parties?
endless exponential feedback loops, poops and dupes
This is fucking dope!
A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.
A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.
RULES:
1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.
2 No Trolling
3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.
4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.
5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.
6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
