    …and so many people didn’t quite f’n get it that if you don’t vote for Harris, you get Trump. Binary choices are easy for kids to understand but hard for American voters.

    Have the day you begged for.

      We really need to move past First Past the Post, but the people who can institute the change are the people who are elected by FPTP.

        We can in states with voter sponsored ballot initiatives, Michigan I think will be having a ranked choice voting constitutional amendment by referendeum after they submit a million signatures of registered voters or whatever it is.

        Other states already did it, Alaska I know. It is a superior system that rejects extremists candidates, and makes people running third party not play spoiler. If you vote for third party first, you choose if he loses, your vote goes to the democrat. If the democrat loses, then your vote goes to Crimedog McGruff, or whatever.

      Harris is Trump, they are both cogs in the same fucking machine, changing the cog doesnt change how the machine functions.
