    Your life is worse because “vote for second worst” stopped working. You can blame the voters all you want. But you’re not getting an electorate that votes for genocidal candidates just because they’re the second worst genocidal piece of shit.

    Change or it’ll happen again. Or blame me for noticing and keep your hands over the burner.

      You’re not wrong, but that’s also impossible without moving to ranked choice voting.

      In America, we get two choices and both suck. You have to vote for the least bad. Third party literally can’t win because 60% of people vote for a party like it’s a sports team and will never change.

      Your recommendation prevents damage mitigation and cannot succeed.

        How’s that been working out for you? Because from here it looks like “we suck and we’re never going to fix it now shut up and vote for genocide and like it” hasn’t worked.
