Third parties are not a bad thing

[–] snooggums@kbin.social 24 points 2 years ago (2 children)

In the US 3rd parties in local positions can be a good thing because they need to appeal to feweer people directly.

Nationally they just take away from whichever party they are closest to because of first past the post. It sucks, but that is the outcome.

[–] deeznutz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If we approach it from a game theory perspective we all lose. Third party ftw

[–] nelsnelson@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Exactly. Indie and disengaged voters need to return to the polls and simply vote their conscience.

Let the establishment bend. We shall not.

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The establishment will bend you if you do that. You're playing right into its hands.

And then there will be no more elections.

[–] nelsnelson@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We are already on a doomed path and lost if this is the reality.

Either we unite against corrupt power or we are just along for the ride into hell.

[–] argv_minus_one@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

We're only doomed if people like you allow Republican assets like Cornel West to deceive you into helping their masters overthrow democracy. Only one side is unabashedly corrupt, and that side would very much love you to think their enemies are just as bad.

Were independent voters not already voting their conscience at the polls?

[–] explodicle@local106.com 2 points 2 years ago

That's just superrational game theory. There's no escape!

Sounds like you need to work harder to kill FPTP in your state which brings us one step closer to killing it federally. My state has one more vote to kill FPTP next November

Announcement of his decision to run with the People's party initially was certainly a choice.

Compared to Trump, Joe, or RFK Jr.?

Not voting for bloods and crips anymore, for now, learned my lesson, hahahaha.

Trump and Joe are corrupt corporates, while RFK Jr. is falling for the zionists in the Israeli lobbyist...link below

Hard choices will need to be made.

Edit: words, link

[–] deeznutz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

Donnie and Joe are one foot in the grave and RFK is positively nuts. I'll write in Mickey Mouse if I have to.

[–] JoYo@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

they'll just switch parties anyways.

@jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org lol fucking called it.

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, you are right!

We gave him the benefit of the doubt, following everything he was doing and questioning it.

Jimmy Dore's interview with Cornel West got most of us to question what he was doing and we now knew he was just another Bernie Sanders.
