Do y’all ever stop to ask, ‘what could we do to win these people to our side?’ Or do you think the condescension will actually work this time?
These people want me to personally convince netanyahu to stop genociding people in Palestine. There is no “convincing them.”
I want our politicians to follow the law, and stop arming the genocide.
This is a very low bar. It’s pathetic they can’t reach it.
This year the cheering came after the recounts were done, and we’d won the province. Though they frequently do.
Talking about the BC NDP btw.
I don’t know. I live in one of the many western democracies that have maybe six or seven relatively normal parties to vote for; as well as a few more to the edges of the political spectrum. I think this question only applies to people in the US.
Ever get the sense that just maybe, someone out there past the boundaries of the only nation that exists, probably fictional, certainly not worth having on your Christmas card list, might have figured out a different way to do things?
If someone tells me they voted third party, I just tell them that’s great and ask what they’re going to do now. Never get much of an answer.
Because it’s so obvious. They are going donate a reasonable amount from their income to support that party. On the weekends they will canvas locally and participate in community events being sure to show their support for their third party. Then when an election comes up they are going to garner support from their party and have them finance someone local to participate in their local and state elections.
Why would they waste time trying to explain? The problem lies with your understanding, not their actions.
But look, I’ve voted third party a lot, and I could tell you what other activities I do to make the world a better place. If I did, would you stop saying this kind of thing in the future? Do you promise?
