So I see you're concerned about the mathematical flaws of First past the post voting and the spoiler effect that comes along with it.

Did you know that alternative electoral systems exist? Ones where there isn't a spoiler effect even. I feel like most democrats, like yourself, understand these faults quite well. It is after all, the entire subject of your comment.

So why are you mad about people who want to vote outside the two party system? Shouldn't your anger be better directed at the two legacy poltical parties that protect this flawed voting system?

We all understand that republicans like First Past The Post voting. They are moving to protect FPTP voting in states they control. However, democrats say they support democracy. So can you tell me why they continue to use FPTP voting in the majority of states they control?

It's not like this is a new issue. Its not like the democratic party just found out about the spoiler effect that comes with First Past The Post voting. Democrats have been quick to point out the flaws of our voting system longer then I've been alive.

Again, if the democrats are so informed of the flaws of the voting system, why does it persist in the vast majority of blue states? Who is preventing this reform? It's not the republicans... they aren't in power in these states. In a two party system, that would leave only one political party responsible for this spoiler effect.

The democrats.

They have sat on their hands for countless decades, understanding the problem yet doing nothing to resolve the issue.

So you see, you should be mad at the democratic party for putting their party over the needs of the people. Not the people who want to vote a certain way.

It's unreasonable to blame those unrepresented in government for what is. This is what we voted for... again... and again... and again. Over and over. This is the result.

Poverty is violence. The extra steps change nothing.

If everything is to be shared under communism, wouldnt that include political power? That would make communism a direct democracy. Does that sound like the countries you have in mind?

Perhaps there is a better unknown way to live our lives that we haven't discovered yet. How would we ever discover it if we just allow the status quo to persist? Capitalism doesn't even have tens of thousands of years of precedent like feudalism has. We unmake feudalism in much of the world, one day we will unmake Capitalism.

I bet a large portion of the population would agree that how we live our lives... is bullshit and needs to be replaced. We just don't agree with what to do next.

we should try new things until everyone's needs are met. This way of life is worthless as it only works for the 1%.

Wouldn't the state also be in the frame before the capitalist at the end?

I thought it was machine learning to, but I am fairly sure it stands for Marxist Leninist.

They sure do. I think the one by me is ran by 3 people every shift. They get a truck every day, plus they gotta do curbside on top of run registers. Perhaps things are different across the pond.

 
 
 
 
 

It's way easier to blend the bananas and put them in pancake/waffle mix.

What are your go to uses for your old bananas? My naners are getting there...

 
 

Happy for someone.

I'm tired of getting humped at my 3 part time jobs.

 

Happy for someone, not this guy.

In 20 days, your monthly tribute to your landed lord is demanded.

 

I guess the ones in that 90's TV show "Dinosaurs" had to now that I think about it.

 

No one around means no witnesses to the 24/7 cringe I generate.
