MODERATORS
it's FFtP that does that. It's your attitude that does that. You'd rather throw your hands up and whine about the situation than make even a tiny effort to change it.
Wtf are you talking about? Who said anything about not wanting or trying to change it? But voting third party will do nothing but fuck yourself and the party you'd rather have in power. No one with less than a 7-digit bank account wants to vote for one of two parties. We do what we must today for a chance to do what we want tomorrow. To do otherwise is either disingenuous, uninformed, selfish.
The US almost dropped the electoral college in the last decade. Back at that time we had a moderately functioning govt, higher taxes on the rich, and less money in politics.
That's why I say it won't change now. It's even more impossible than the last time we failed to make it happen.
Then stop doing it dumbass and stop encouraging other people to do it
It's clear you're trolling or your reading comprehension is subpar. Either way, I don't have time for either.
You literally have a choice, you make a choice that you don't like and then whine that you had no choice. It's clear you're either trolling or have a pretty severe victimization fetish.
