Where along the DNC’s journey to the right do you hop off? Is it never? When do you hop off the electoral trend and join the Revolutionary trend?
And what is this revolutionary trend doing? Is there a plan? Because “let’s get Trump elected and hope for the best” really isn’t a great pitch
Lol you’re the one not making any sense, but sure
FTPT is just another convenient fearmongering excuse.
No, it’s reality.
I know very well how it works.
I don’t think you do. Biden has nothing to do with it. Democrats have nothing to do with it. Go read up.
Ok, sure? But as long as we have FPTP, your choices are Democrat or Republican. Or bank on the Green Party winning the Powerball, I guess.
It’s not a matter of politics. We could be voting on which salad dressing to use, and FPTP will always devolve into only two parties (Caesar and Italian, perhaps?). Go read those links I shared.
And without something like RCV, the greens can never win.
You’re presenting a safe with the key locked inside.
What false premise?
The revolutionary isn’t loyal to party, only principle
So the principle you are loyal to is…we get to be led by Democrats or Republicans, forever and forever?
No, you are flat out wrong. Read the links I shared. Statistically, it is nearly impossible for a third party to win under FPTP; you may as well buy lottery tickets. The most a third party can do is create a spoiler effect. This is regardless of being on the ballot or campaigning a lot.
The voting system must be changed. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans will advocate for this, however, since they both enjoy having roughly half the pie.
largest obstacle maintaining duopoly
The duopoly is maintained by First Past the Post. If we want meaningful change, we must change the voting system.

Transition lenses, baybeeee
The fucking magnet in the junkyard scared me so much
I’d try curried eggs bengal
Because they already raised hundreds of millions from investors
…budgeting? Y’all don’t just buy the meatiest beefcake PSU that microcenter has in stock?
When I needed a new washer, I did a lot of research and strongly considered Speed Queen. But then I read they enshittified in 2018
Didn’t Asus start enshittifying recently? Thought I saw some chatter about that on here 😢
Yep. But at least you can claim that on your taxes! Only up to $300 per year though.
(Spoiler alert: it’s always more than $300 a year)
