    marxist is stuck in an election with a liberal and a fascist and an anarchist

    marxist votes for self and gives election to fascist

    marxist doesn’t care because their purpose was to destroy the nice liberal state they live in to give their life purpose and make their larp universe real

    ps. anarchist never mattered

      It astonishes me just how hard the army of votescolds are pushing at the moment, like they’re “hey guys this isn’t the time to reform Democracy or the Democratic Party, the election is only 39 months away! Shut up and get in line!”

        I’m all in on trying to reform tbh. If we want to do it right though, we need to change the voting system on in each state, like Alaska and Maine did.

        Having an alternative voting system is how we can get more candidates like Mamdani in office, since we don’t have to worry about vote splitting between our preferred candidate and the incumbent.

        First Past the Post voting is the predominant method for how voting is done in the US. It’s a winner takes all system where you can only pick one of the candidates on the ballot. I feel alternative voting makes way more sense since you can pick your preferred candidate(s) first and then have some back up options you’re personally okay with winning. We end up with so many do nothing incumbents since people worry about splitting their vote so much and letting the worst candidate win, due to the flaw of the system.

        Let’s get the word out about alternative voting systems and organizations that promote them. Get involved locally can help scale it up as well. NYC uses an alternative voting system for instance.
