So much this!

At the risk of sounding like a broken record.... the situation will continue until you implement a better voting system

Look, here's the thing--even if there was a perfect 3rd party candidate and even if you could convince Americans to vote for them over the Democratic/Republican candidates, with Congress controlled by Democrats and Republicans (who seem more hellbent than ever on partisanship) the 3rd party President wouldn't be able to get anything meaningful done anyway.

America doesn't need a viable 3rd party candidate, it needs a viable 3rd party (and 4th, etc.)--one that people believe in enough to help win a decent number of seats in the House and Senate as well as in state elections. Until such a party appears, a vote for a 3rd party candidate really is "spoiler" vote.

Honestly, if Bernie just broke away from the Democratic party and started a new one I think there would be a shot at creating such a viable 3rd party but I understand exactly why he didn't--such a split at the current time might actually guarantee the Republicans the presidency even with their current clown candidate.

Stop Voting for the Lesser of Two Evils

ChaosEngine says...

The problem is that the American election process is so fucked that calling it a democracy is actually getting to be a bit of a stretch these days.

The fact that @entr0py recognizes that his (her?) vote doesn't count should be a massive red flag. It is beyond stupid that in 2016, votes for a countrywide position (i.e. president) are split up at a local level.


And that's before you even get to the problems of how much first past the post voting sucks

Unfortunately, until you get some election reform.... you're kinda stuck with it.

Sorry, but if your choice is Clinton or Trump/Cruz? You HAVE to vote lesser of two evils. (although, I'm still hoping that if Bernie doesn't get the democration nomination, he might still run as a 3rd party)

Mixed Martial Arts fighter loses by KO -- done by himself

Deano says...

>> ^Payback:

>> ^Ryjkyj:
That wouldn't work in a real street fight.

It didn't work here, either.


I've read that flashy kicks rarely work in fights so what the fuck was he thinking? I wonder how they wrote the result up...
