    Guys, when is the revolution? I wanna burn down every government building and start from scratch. I don’t think Americans will be happy whether Biden or Trump is voted in, so we might as well fight both sides and uprise a new one

    I just want one election in my life where it’s not the end of the goddamn world if Democrats lose, so I’m allowed to vote for someone I actually like.

    Just one fucking election.

    The intent of someone’s speech, or even its outcome, does not make it incorrect. A culture of hiding from reality thinking in doing so it will give us certain outcomes is what this practice will create.

    Well, here goes:

    If you don’t want to vote for Biden or trump, don’t. I’m voting party for socialism and liberation this November and you can too.

    They’re running Claudia de la cruz for president on a platform of Palestinian statehood and cessation of aid to Israel.

    It’s better to vote third party than not to vote because even if the third party doesn’t win, they get material support from your vote in the form of funding, ballot and event presence, media appearances and public awareness.

    Yeah, liberals… keep pretending that your superficial pearl-clutching when it comes to US-sponsored genocide makes you all that different than your (so-called) “conservative” cousins.

    Eliminating the First Past the Post voting system would enable people to vote for third-party candidates without the risk of a spoiler effect. This change would foster competition in the electoral process, enhancing the quality of candidates for all voters. Additionally, it would likely increase voter turnout and political engagement.

    Electoral reform is possible at the state level, Alaska and Maine have already passed electoral reform so it is possible to get this done.

    Republicans have already made moves to protect First Past the Post voting. Florida recently made Ranked Choice voting illegal. Fortunately there are many alternatives to FPTP, so the ban still isn’t in the way of passing electoral reform.

    So the question remains, why do Blue states still use FPTP voting? Why would you want to use the voting system republicans prefer? There are no republicans stopping these reforms in states that democrats control.

    It is clear that democrats understand the flaws of FPTP voting, just talk about voting third party in nearly any social media and you will get a entire flock of Democrats lecturing you on how a vote not for a democrat is a vote for a republican. How can you admit the voting system is flawed and then not make any moves to rectify the situation is beyond me. You don’t get to lecture people on the flaws of FPTP voting and then do nothing to fix the issue.

    Plus they cherry-pick items, take them out of context, distort them, then bombard social media with it in a way that tries to push as many visceral buttons as they can.

    All the while actively ignoring any and all information that might challenge the narrative they are cynically pushing, of course.

    It’s probably damn near impossible to fully disentangle oneself from this addictive web, we all have fallen prey to weaponized disinformation at some level or other, and different disinformation campaigns target different segments of the population.
