    I feel like you still aren’t getting it. It’s not these reasons, it’s because we have a 2-Party system. I don’t like it, and we desperately need election reform, but until then, no one can win without being the Republican/Democrat Nominee. Bernie Sanders, Jon Stewart, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, not one of them could win as a 3rd-Party candidate…

      these words are hollow in the face of actions actively perpetuating the 2 party system. Im looking enviously at Peter Magyar in Hungary forming a party in March and now being elected to EU parliament because people wanted an alternative after a corruption scandal. This shit aint enough for you?

        Some real “Curious… You criticize society, yet you participate in it” vibes here. “Perpetuate” the 2-party system!? What are you actually talking about? People should not vote, or throw it away until they magically give us ranked choice voting?? Absolute nonsense.

        If you want to walk the walk, start a grass roots effort to reform the system, and I’ll support you. Until then, I’ll assume you’re just trying to get people to not use our only real power currently: voting.

          Im talking about voting for ranked choice. Thats just it, we arent going to magically get it by doing nothing, it happens when we say so.
