“We recognize that, in the next four years, our decision may cause us to have an even more difficult time. But we believe that this will give us a chance to recalibrate, and the Democrats will have to consider whether they want our votes or not.”

That’s gotta be one of the strangest reasonings I’ve heard in a while.

    I’m not clinging to the Democratic Party. I’m simply aware of how first past the post voting works.

      That just tells you there can only be two dominant parties. Which parties are those two can change. Those who keep supporting democrats are still the ones preventing it from being another party. If it not democrats, it would be a different one…

        I’ll bet you any amount of money that either Dems or reps win the next election. How much would you like to wager?

            Maybe I wasn’t clear.

            I’ll bet you any amount you like that no third party wins the next election. You game?

            The fact that no one ever takes me up on this shows y’all fucking know I’m right but don’t want to admit it.

              If they won, they would no longer be a third party. If democrats became a third party, another party would become first party.

                That’s why I worded it the way I did the first time.

                I bet you $1000 that either the Democrat or the Republican wins the next presidential election.

                    It directly contradicts your claim that another party can win.
