    How dare you, OP.

    What you’re doing is the equivalent of victim-shaming. The two party system is a fucking sham; and if you’re too comfortable (or ignorant) to realize that, you need to go read up on the US’s fake democracy and stop punching down on your allies.


    Some reading:

    vote...

    1.) First past the post makes only two parties possible.

    2.) Voting is a fucking sham when you only have two private parties that win court cases where they are accused of election fraud, offering the following as their defense:

    “We could have voluntarily decided that, ‘Look, we’re gonna go into back rooms like they used to and smoke cigars and pick the candidate that way,’”

    furthermore, the DNC’s lawyer said,

    “There’s no right to not have your candidate disadvantaged or have another candidate advantaged. There’s no contractual obligation here…it’s not a situation where a promise has been made that is an enforceable promise,”


    If your two parties are legally allowed to engage in open election fraud in the process of selecting those only two possible candidates, how effective is it IN REALITY to vote?

        No. But the way to fix this CERTAINLY isn’t to post memes broadcasting your anger at some perceived slight from people that won’t step in line behind a sham system like some stupid sheep to be herded for your silly partisan hackery. The shaming does nothing more than perpetuate the very issue of corruption and austerity in the US.

        Ranked choice voting solves the issues created by FPTP.

        Have you EVER seen evidence that shaming marginalized, unrepresented, utterly voiceless and abused voters works?

            Not as badly as I seem. It’s just insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results that gets me heated.
