Muslim Americans voted overwhelmingly for Biden. But community leaders in swing states tell NBC News that the president's handling of the war in Gaza risks losing their support.
More Hillary primary voters didnt for for Obama in his general then there were Bernie primary voters that didn’t vote for Hillary in the general. So I don’t think saying ‘we tried that and got Trump’ is truthful at all.
Sticking to the two party system will not stop the next fascist, it can only delay them. Look at the past 30 years of presidents, flip flop back and forth some 4 years some 8 but a new face meant it was the other parties turn.
At some point we need to do something different and if you wanna wait for the better smarter fascist that’s learns from Trump’s mistakes, you’re going to have a really bad time.
No shit we need to move away from the system we have. Literally no one here is saying otherwise.
The problem is you’re not proposing a solution, you’re just saying we should piss on a sign post and call it effective action. It does nothing to help, and actively helps those making things worse.
You want change? Look for something meaningful to do instead of whining that people are rightfully criticizing you for your ineffective actions.
We have proposed the solution and you’re unwilling to try, and this keeping millions of us trapped in the abusive relationship you’re rather happy to be in. BuT bEInG bEaTeN iS sO mUcH bEtTeR tHaN bEiNg StRaNgLeD!
The larger the share of votes third party candidates get the more funding they get from the government to help run candidates that arent already rich or connected or party officials, as well as increasing the incentive for main parties to adopt RCV or IRV to try and get shares those votes. Because as it stands neither party cares enough about third party voters to really do much to court them outside of enforcing two party rule. You’re upset that it may lose one or two elections along the way, but don’t act like theres no strategy involved in growing the number of third party voters, super disingenuous.
No matter what you think of my plan, it’s more thought out than your plan for RCV which im dying to hear.
The problem is that your “couple elections here and there” have massive implications nationwide, while the “progress” it promises is little more than a trickle at best.
You want to take a couple steps forward toward your own goal? Do it! But don’t espouse everyone else take a massive leap backwards so you can have your token change.
I think third parties are a good idea… at a state and local level. Where they actual have a chance. But advocating for them on a national level is foolhardy at best, and downright regressive at worst.
You want to take a couple steps forward toward your own goal? Do it! But don’t espouse everyone else take a massive leap backwards so you can have your token change.
Well if you want to slow walk further into the electoral conditions that give rise to fascism, do it! but Don’t espouse that everyone else has to follow you folly and agree with your absurd notion of changing things by patiently waiting for the people who will always have your vote to do something they’re not already doing.
The so called “Most progressive president of all time” is a Rail Strike Breaker, which subsequently resulted in the Ohio spill among others, and a financier of far right genocide. If you can’t respect someone to whom literal genocide is their single issue vote then I have little faith in your understanding of US politics and voter demographics. “Trump COULD be worse” isn’t gonna win Biden any votes with them, because only a fool would vote for a genocide under the logic that the other guy may also do a genocide.
You’re slow walk into American Fascism is no more noble than someone trying to do something actually different in hopes of different results. Still waiting on that plan of yours.
