Dems are shit. Dems are really fucking shit. But helping the further right party into power helps no one, and certainly doesn't trigger some deeply-rooted intrinsic socialism in the masses.
Critical support for liberal ghouls one day every two years, in a FPTP system wherein a liberal party and a fascist party both poll around ~48% in the month before election day.
We have every other fucking day of the years to work for alternatives to the liberal ghouls.
I'm pushing for RCV in local elections. This is a change that needs to happen from the ground up and won't happen overnight but people really think that trying to convince internet strangers not to vote for two months every 4 years is the solution.
Where are you, Jill Stein? I guess campaigning for Putin really takes it out of you so you deserve your 44-month hibernation
RCV would be a major step forward in reducing the indolence and complacency of the Dems, even if third parties don't make immediate electoral gains.
Exactly. If the Dems didn't feel obligated to change after Clinton vs Trump, I feel like 2028 won't be any different. They need to realize that all they are - and have been since I started paying attention - the lesser of two evils.
They need to understand that for the majority of us, we vote blue not because we like you but because we really don't like the other candidate. RCV would crush the Democrats.
