no way to stop this says only country... oh no wait thats shootings.

what do you call a democratic system where you only have one choice?

[–] orrk@lemmy.world -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

see, you happen to be confusing having one not horrible choice with having no choice.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

that is known as an ultimatum, which is indeed no choice at all

It's American "democracy" in action

Clearly we need a different system, because it's clear that Democrats will never make the types of change we need, and we sure as hell can't vote Republican

It's a farce

why are you relying on electoralism to enact change? no, you go out and vote every election so the least bad, and easier to work with government gets into power, not so you can sit back as they do everything

Why are you a liar? Let's start with that. I vote in every election, fuckwit. And the Democrats have consistently failed me.

[–] orrk@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

even in a multi party system, why would there be multiple parties that have similar demands?

you also again forget that you have a choice of following through with an ultimatum
