It’s American focused and abortion is at the forefront of their christofascist-liberal culturwar.

That 3. party better be Election Reform.

It may not be the person you voted for, but there is someone that’s supposed to represent your community.

That’s a weird take on politics. “Hitler comes from my place so he represents me.”

As a non-EU European I vote on country politics at the national elections, and local politics at the county elections. That way I have local representation in local matters, and national representation at national matters.
The current right wing surge in Europe is mostly because people don’t like the amount of Muslim immigrants and most countries have only far right parties that rides on that matter. Plus Russian influence I assume.

You do not get a good political landscape with one seat districts that can even be gerrymandered. Every fucking US state house is divided in DEM and REP, that’s not healthy.

In a binary system they are sadly still better than the other choice. Vote at every instance for greener alternatives inside the democrats and election reform.

You dont even get a representative by 2., 3. and 4. candidate votes in the 1 seat districts. Your vote is actually worth zero if it doesn’t win. My 7th party vote goes towards a party representative that can voice my cause. My vote is not lost at all.

I think it would be more effective to start an election reform faction inside the Dems rather than abstain the vote for democracy against dictatorship.

One of the parties CENCORED the EPA from using the word climate change and dropped the USA out of the accords.
HOW FUCKING BRAINDEAD WOULD YOU HAVE TO BE TO LET THAT BASTARD INTO THE OFFICE AGAIN!!!

When the options are democracy or dictatorship and you choose not to vote… it’s kinda gross. I get that you got a failure of a system over there, but the fight to update your democracy should be done after you choose to have one.

“Even in a proportional representation system”
In a proportional system votes for other candidates aren’t lost tho, which means it doesn’t force a two party system by design.
I don’t think it is stated enough how horribly weak the current US one seat FPTP system is.

At least at MAGA redcap level.

Join the Election Reform movement and form a party. Win and do something about your horribly outdated election system. Result: congratulations you have modern democracy where voting 3., 4. and 5. party is an option because elections are proportional.

Wait, it’s not true? Having worked at M the D would probably do wonders for working joe opinon.

I highly recommend multiple seat districts so that multiple groups get representation. One seat districts are very 1800s. Regards from Northern Europe.

In fact, this would probably be the best year to third party with an election reform party?

The 2 party system rests on the one seat FPTP election system. So you’d need a complete renewal.

My condolences for being a nation on the continual brink of Christianish-Fascism.

Eyyy, that shows us that the “Orange man bad” meme was another projection.

In a system where all the non-winning votes are lost in a step and not counted at the end, like the USA form of weak democracy, this becomes a valid tactic.

It’s not only the presidential vote that’s like this, but ALL fucking votes. It’s astonishing how weak the US system is.

You’re a flawed democracy with an outdated election system. The FPTP one seat districts forces two party politics.

Peeps, the voting is not an agreement button.
