I vote Greens as much as I can but you try convincing 300 million people that there’s more options than genocide enabler and convicted felon.

Ok I’ll clarify my previous message. Vote for Dems.

Where would we be if Gore had won? 3rd party votes do not work. In fact they are counter productive.

It’s just so sad how broken the US voting system is. In Finland we have a population of ~5 million, and we have 9 parties currently in the parliament out of a total of 16 registered (the rest just didn’t get enough votes to make it into parliament this time 'round).

Y’all have almost 350 million people and 2 parties, neither of which seems to have much interest in getting rid of first-past-the-post. The really sad part is that Thomas Jefferson independently came up with a voting method that’s identical to the d’Hondt method that’s pretty commonly used here in Urop and proposed that the US should use it, but if I remember right he was veto’d by Washington for whatever reason

This is about moving things left. (Not that thing you try to change it to.) If you want things to move left then you have to give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories.

Once we have ranked voting, sure.

But for now, with First Past the Post voting, blue is the better route.

Voting blue isn’t going to get us any closer to ranked voting either.

EDIT: Skill issue. I made an assumption.

Can you prove that?

Maybe you should vote for more than just the president…
