I’m getting real tired of all the posts full of people not able to imagine any other system than the current one that funnily enough only the US still clings to
You guys really treat politics like sports teams.
Get out there and vote third party all the way through. Force another party into the reckoning because voting democrat or republican is still eventually going to fuck you all over, it just varies the pace depending which one you chose.
“The divine right of kings was a current system too. I wonder how they overthrew it”
They didn’t overthrow it. The kings and aristocrats made a bargain that they would take turns being kings and aristocrats (voting) as long as the system of property, income, and estate taxes stayed in place to bleed the poor and middle class. It is the same people’s grandchildren today that are your pool of candidates. We still live under a cult that considers itself having the divine right to rule the tax serfs.

Why should we talk about things that aren’t implemented when speaking about real votes? I’d love if STAR or something was on place, but I’m not using that system for the election in less than a month; FPTP is the only way I can vote today, so it makes sense to talk about it on the lead up to the election.

Shit take, voting third party when one option is talking about being a dictator on day one is tacitly endorsing the dictator.

It’s because the current system is the current one. Currently. We aren’t living in fancy lala land.
The current system will stay the current system as long as people keep saying well it’s the current system so we have to accept the current system.

Im sure they asked real nicely and it just worked
