      Any two party system is the mathematically-inevitable result of first-past-the-post voting, nothing more or less.

      We will never escape the two party system if we keep thinking in binary.

      Clap your hands and believe is the solution, I see.

        Better than your solution of snapping at people on the internet. Trying to speak through tribalism is a better approach than pissing on anyone that doesn’t use the words you like. I don’t know why I bother to respond at all. I frankly don’t see your point or where you stand. I do see your bitterness and your inability to do more than meme to appeal to fix the problem. Good luck with that. I’ve more or less learned I don’t need your approval to be an ally.

          Realism and tribalism are different things. I don’t love democrats but I sure as hell have a mountain of proof that they’re the only shot we have at avoiding fascism.

          I’m really not, and if anything I think you are the one barking up the wrong tree. And wow did you ever get defensive. Not even sure you understand what I said the first time, given what you said.

        I can assure you, you’re fighting with the wrong person. Take your energy and direct it elsewhere. I’m not your enemy nor am I even relevant to your posted meme. Fight with someone else.

          You’re standing up for those on the left who didn’t vote blue. In my book that’s most of why 2024 is the year we went full on fascist

            Standing up is a strong way to put it. I’m tired and I made the mistake of not voting once. I leaned and corrected. You can be pissed at them and quiet about it. Absolutism. Tribalism. You don’t build coalition by spitting at someone who made a mistake. The only thing you cannot tolerate at this point is the intolerant. Those people are building camps. Not that it’s any of your business but I did vote last November and in every election that’s been required of me. I don’t think voting is the answer but I do it anyway. We are past the point where we can afford to fight among each other and from now on. I’m just blocking those of you that can’t see that. I’m not your enemy. But your enemy IS winning. Good luck. See you out there.
