Woah, the country founded so 1%ers didn't have to pay taxes, built on slavery and Indian burial grounds isn't good?

So why isn't the DNC forming a national push for Ranked Choice voting? Stopping the Republicans is bigger then preserving the democratic party.

Joe biden needs backup on the debate stage. We need more chances to defeat the republicans. We need more then two viable political parties.

All that is possible with electoral reform. We don't actually need to wait for federal reform. How we vote is controlled at the state level. This means all those blue states can push through this much needed reform with little Republican resistance.

We deserve the *freedom * to vote for someone who best represents us, secure in the knowledge that our vote will still be counted even if our preference didn't won. We deserve to be free of the spoiler effect.

The only thing standing in our way in blue states is the democratic party. Don't they care about beating the Republicans more then being in power?

Consumers getting anything is just a byproduct of profits. They'd sell you shit in a box if they could. And some literally have.

Cards against humanity did it AFAIK

Thanks for the massive bill mom and dad.

They got their serotonin and I got exploitation every waking moment of my life.

While I wish you a happy and healthy life, I do hope you get to experience the joys of the US Healthcare system some day to broaden your limited horizons.

Guess I'll die.

My life was shit for most of my early life. I wish I could forget...

Capitalism is a national security threat

They are in power and you remain unrepresented in government. A huge win for the status quo

"Vote"

votes for electoral reform

"Fuck you. Anyways... don't forget you HAVE TO vote for us if you don't want the conservatives again."

Man, we really are more alike then we think

Ban cars

Genius MBA thinking of our time

Just to save someone a click... the news article doesn't have a video of biden saying this. It was apparently a quote in a conference call between DNC leadership or something

Democrats don't need to learn anything. You're forced to vote for them because of First Past The Post voting.

If we used a voting system like Ranked Choice voting, it wouldn't matter! Biden could run all he wants and we could vote for someone else and if they didn't win... our vote would get transferred to the next in line (in this example biden).

Trump doesn't care about you just as much as biden doesn't care about us.

I wonder how a civil war would work out with nukes...

capitalism just progressing to it's natural end stage.

Also...

First Past The post voting artificially limits the number of political parties to two. This allows the legacy political parties to run incredibly weak candidates since there is no competition in the electoral system.

With a more representative voting system (much like Ranked Choice voting) people would be free to vote for the person that best represents them, while still counting their vote if that candidate doesn't win.

Because you have to beat trump since the democrats are cowards and can't even lock up someone for inciting a rebellion.

Just a average human being. Base humanity. This is who we are.

Adding extra steps to the jungle does not make us civilized.
