    Kicked off by Democrats

    I am once again pointing out that liberals are more opposed to democracy than even the far right. Like, quite literally they are less likely to agree with statements like “Every person’s vote should count equally,” “Democracy is a good system,” and “Free elections are an essential feature of democracy”

      The democrats had always been the party of the Party Boss making the decisions instead of the rank and file. Hence “superdelegates” being a thing in their primaries.

      I disagree. This is the opposite of what I have experienced in life. shakes head I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

        Have you considered that you’re a rube who will continue to believe total falsehoods even when evidence to the contrary smacks you in the face

        *Steeples fingers*
        *Paces slowly*
        *Starts to speak*
        *Hesitates, stops*
        *Faces out window, somberly*
        Well considering that it’s 2024 and you’re still using role-playing asterisks maybe it’s either because you’re young or a sentient IRC channel.

        Which party has been working hard to keep third parties off the ballot for at least the past few election cycles?

        Which party’s supporters get quite upset at the idea of someone voting third party?

        I mean, this isn’t a matter of opinion, this is based on how leftists, liberals, and right-wingers answered questions when polled.

        https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/05/23/opinion/international-world/centrists-democracy.html

        An important note to read that and not come back and say something stupid, “liberal” can be a confusing term with multiple meanings. When I say “liberal” and NYT says “centrist” we mean the same thing.
