Watch a video on First Past the Post voting and demand your local and state representatives go on record their stance on electoral reform.
Those who oppose democracy must be ran against. Primary/general election whatever.
Probably to late to get electoral reform without a general strike at this stage, but we can start working on getting more people involved in the political process next election.
Towards being free to vote for who best represents us, safe in the knowledge that our vote will still be counted against those we dont want in office.
Democrats believe in democracy right? Let’s find out together.
Life doesnt last forever and you can get a vasectomy so your kids do not suffer this planet. It’s what’s best for them.
What are they going to do about it?
Please say campaign for electoral reform in their respective states.
Blue conservatives.
copyright used to only by 14 years plus a one time extention of another 14 years. Since quake 1 was released in 1996, it would be free for all to play with. Imagine being free to play with our own culture without all these work around.
Imagine being free. I can’t honestly. Like a fish ,whose entire life was in a bowel, trying to imagine a ocean.
I’m paying a shit ton to have a basement. Why the hell would I leave it?
Everyone forms communes that reflect their personal values. I would prefer one with direct democracy, and no representatives.
However big a commune you want, but I’d recommend keeping it at 2000 people or less. Anymore and people start to see each other as strangers, not community members. Plus direct democracy works better with smaller population numbers.
White colored words that insult the reader.
Hell yeah. Concern silos divide the people.
Trans rights are human rights
Women’s rights are human rights
Workers rights are human rights.
People should be free to vote for those who best represent them, secure in the knowledge their vote will still be counted against those they don’t want in office.
A vote fire Stein is a vote for Trump
Can you explain to us why this is so?
Jill Stein’s only practical role in this election is as a presidential spoiler benefitting Trump
Can you explain why?
Don’t worry everyone, just one more damage control vote and things will all be fixed. The democrats pinky swears. /$
So I see you’re concerned about the mathematical flaws of First past the post voting and the spoiler effect that comes along with it.
Did you know that alternative electoral systems exist? Ones where there isn’t a spoiler effect even. I feel like most democrats, like yourself, understand these faults quite well. It is after all, the entire subject of your comment.
So why are you mad about people who want to vote outside the two party system? Shouldn’t your anger be better directed at the two legacy poltical parties that protect this flawed voting system?
We all understand that republicans like First Past The Post voting. They are moving to protect FPTP voting in states they control. However, democrats say they support democracy. So can you tell me why they continue to use FPTP voting in the majority of states they control?
It’s not like this is a new issue. Its not like the democratic party just found out about the spoiler effect that comes with First Past The Post voting. Democrats have been quick to point out the flaws of our voting system longer then I’ve been alive.
Again, if the democrats are so informed of the flaws of the voting system, why does it persist in the vast majority of blue states? Who is preventing this reform? It’s not the republicans… they aren’t in power in these states. In a two party system, that would leave only one political party responsible for this spoiler effect.
The democrats.
They have sat on their hands for countless decades, understanding the problem yet doing nothing to resolve the issue.
So you see, you should be mad at the democratic party for putting their party over the needs of the people. Not the people who want to vote a certain way.
It’s unreasonable to blame those unrepresented in government for what is. This is what we voted for… again… and again… and again. Over and over. This is the result.
How do you do fellow redditors? I also get free shit from amazon. Updooted you. Please give me gold as well.
Steve buscemi was on a fire truck on 9-11 after breaking his toe kicking that helmet while filming lord of the rings.
Hey bro, check my latest totally organic post about the package from Amazon. LoL they sent me 2 Xbox station 6s instead of 1 playbox 5. Order from Amazon, they will send you free shit!
Hey it’s me your brother!
They sure do. I think the one by me is ran by 3 people every shift. They get a truck every day, plus they gotta do curbside on top of run registers. Perhaps things are different across the pond.
The 1% can make their own wage slaves.
Wouldn’t a mermaid be called a scaley?
