Watch a video on First Past the Post voting and demand your local and state representatives go on record their stance on electoral reform.

Those who oppose democracy must be ran against. Primary/general election whatever.

Probably to late to get electoral reform without a general strike at this stage, but we can start working on getting more people involved in the political process next election.

Towards being free to vote for who best represents us, safe in the knowledge that our vote will still be counted against those we dont want in office.

Democrats believe in democracy right? Let’s find out together.

Life doesnt last forever and you can get a vasectomy so your kids do not suffer this planet. It’s what’s best for them.

What are they going to do about it?

Please say campaign for electoral reform in their respective states.

Blue conservatives.

Man it’s awesome lemmy let’s you edit so much in case you forgot to upload the Pic.

I’m sure some malicious asshole will abuse this one day…

Everyone is afraid to admit that free necessities for all is the way.

The abusers and exploiters need that fear of destitution to drive you towards them and their unsafe unjust working conditions.

The greatest freedom in life is the ability to say no.

copyright used to only by 14 years plus a one time extention of another 14 years. Since quake 1 was released in 1996, it would be free for all to play with. Imagine being free to play with our own culture without all these work around.

Imagine being free. I can’t honestly. Like a fish ,whose entire life was in a bowel, trying to imagine a ocean.

The raspberry vinaigrette from aldis in a glass bottle. I swear someone who works there goes through the box when it arrives on the truck and I only get the ones they miss.

Beyond how its a inferior product in every way? Exclusives.

Anyone want to talk about GoG?

Poverty is violence. Poverty is a policy choice.

A vote fire Stein is a vote for Trump

Can you explain to us why this is so?

Jill Stein’s only practical role in this election is as a presidential spoiler benefitting Trump

Can you explain why?

Don’t worry everyone, just one more damage control vote and things will all be fixed. The democrats pinky swears. /$

So I see you’re concerned about the mathematical flaws of First past the post voting and the spoiler effect that comes along with it.

Did you know that alternative electoral systems exist? Ones where there isn’t a spoiler effect even. I feel like most democrats, like yourself, understand these faults quite well. It is after all, the entire subject of your comment.

So why are you mad about people who want to vote outside the two party system? Shouldn’t your anger be better directed at the two legacy poltical parties that protect this flawed voting system?

We all understand that republicans like First Past The Post voting. They are moving to protect FPTP voting in states they control. However, democrats say they support democracy. So can you tell me why they continue to use FPTP voting in the majority of states they control?

It’s not like this is a new issue. Its not like the democratic party just found out about the spoiler effect that comes with First Past The Post voting. Democrats have been quick to point out the flaws of our voting system longer then I’ve been alive.

Again, if the democrats are so informed of the flaws of the voting system, why does it persist in the vast majority of blue states? Who is preventing this reform? It’s not the republicans… they aren’t in power in these states. In a two party system, that would leave only one political party responsible for this spoiler effect.

The democrats.

They have sat on their hands for countless decades, understanding the problem yet doing nothing to resolve the issue.

So you see, you should be mad at the democratic party for putting their party over the needs of the people. Not the people who want to vote a certain way.

It’s unreasonable to blame those unrepresented in government for what is. This is what we voted for… again… and again… and again. Over and over. This is the result.

5 billion humans is a lot of meat.

Poverty is violence. The extra steps change nothing.

If everything is to be shared under communism, wouldnt that include political power? That would make communism a direct democracy. Does that sound like the countries you have in mind?

Perhaps there is a better unknown way to live our lives that we haven’t discovered yet. How would we ever discover it if we just allow the status quo to persist? Capitalism doesn’t even have tens of thousands of years of precedent like feudalism has. We unmake feudalism in much of the world, one day we will unmake Capitalism.

I bet a large portion of the population would agree that how we live our lives… is bullshit and needs to be replaced. We just don’t agree with what to do next.

we should try new things until everyone’s needs are met. This way of life is worthless as it only works for the 1%.

Wouldn’t the state also be in the frame before the capitalist at the end?

I thought it was machine learning to, but I am fairly sure it stands for Marxist Leninist.
