  • Man put it together. It's relevant because I'm talking about a situation where citizens try to start voting reform, and saying that Republicans in charge would be much worse for trying to get that passed. They are clearly worse for that movement than the Democrats. Because they pulled some bullshit to get third parties off the ballot doesn't mean they are some golden child who's going to let ranked choice in, but that's less bad than the stuff Republicans do. Figure it out

  • Pretty harsh to want people you haven't met to suffer like that.

  • Ok I was gonna give a pass on dungeons and daddies till I found out he wrote borderlands 2, like, just now from you

  • Cus I like em

  • You're kidding right? Republicans are trying to make it so anyone who changes their name, even married women, can't vote. They've historically fought against black and poor people from voting for decades. Just the policies flying around now are nuts. I haven't heard of armed Democrats hassling people in line to vote.

    Either way the strategy I put forward stands.

  • ai evolved a lot in the last four months guys it's not just a glorified auto complete it's totally different than earlier it's evolving guys like it's real c'mon guys

  • If you use ai you're not programming anything so... Yeah only real programmers don't use ai.

  • Local governments are much more likely to listen to constituents and it's a lot easier to get stuff on the ballot for local issues than State and national elections. Making that the norm locally can influence the state, and three federal elections are run state by state instead of nationally.

    Between the Democrats and the Republicans, who do you think is more likely to? If your city was in Republican control, the party that's notorious for trying to take away voting rights, do you think they would actually let that through? At least with Democrats pretending to care about people, it's a platform they can run on, and on the individual level means they are more likely to get elected/reelected.

  • They don't even talk about that stuff as much, it's conservatives claiming they do that got it into everyone's heads that Dems go on and on about trans people.

  • All the ferocity of overcooked linguini

  • When it was live I saw it recommended on YouTube and it was only like, 100k at most on one of the streams, something like that. I assume a lot of bots.

  • Hey man Elmo is cool

  • Homer in all forms!

  • I feel that wasn't an effective tactic I'm the last election and is something that can be worked towards, but the amount of support third parties get isn't substantial enough to make an impact on democratic policy as things are now.

    That's why I feel it's imperative to focus on ranked choice (or something similar) from local and up, because of the aforementioned Duverger's law. This could eliminate both establishment parties. Until we fix that, people know that third parties don't win elections, especially not national ones, and you can't do anything unless you actually get into a position of power.

  • Yes, and it's also Homer

  • You say they don't care why you vote for them but said you voted third party to send a message or whatever. Seems like you feel that they care about how you vote but not anyone else.

    You haven't really convinced me your strategy will be effective.

  • So you still look down on them for "magical thinking" even though you've experienced it? Isn't that kinda blaming the victim?

  • Whelp didn't notice the typo, so I guess thanks for pointing that out. I feel like they are blaming the victim a bit still though.

  • Ok look, if you trust your mother completely, and you think she isn't lying, that's fine. But people can be fed information they think it's true and then spread a falsehood, thinking they told the truth. Also people forget and misremember stuff. So maybe the doctors lied or didn't tell her something. Or maybe she forgot.
