Let’s face it, the dems don’t care about the commoners, the republicans are actually pure evil, everyone was happy when that shitstain CEO got shot.

Maybe we should build on this momentum we have to drive actual change at the political level.

my first act as president in 2029 would be to issue a full and unconditional pardon of the billionaire killer.

edit:

well alrighty then, followup question, does anyone want to join my newly formed political party? I’m going to start working on drafting our mission statement, or manifesto or whatever it should be called.

Further Edit: I set up a lemmy community for us to post shit about it. If you want to join, that’s our official, unofficial space. https://lemmy.world/c/newpoliticalparty

    Those don’t eliminate the spoiler effect, but it does end up looking different. (Maybe has a different name in this form?)

    My blue state has a blanket primary, and this last election I saw that demonstrated:

    One race had two Republicans and like half a dozen Democrats and another half a dozen in other parties. The Republican vote of course was split between the two candidates. The Democrat vote was split like a hydra and we very nearly had (few hundred votes away) the two Republicans go to the general!

    Fortunately, the top Dem barely squeaked into second place, and then easily won the general, but it was mighty close.
