      You guys need to fix your system from the ground up, it’s broken. Electing the other party doesn’t change that

            And what about the federal level? Just let Republicans do install Fascism while you’re working on voting the Mamdanis into cities?

              The party knows what it takes to win and refuses to do it. The electorate won’t change just because you think they should.

                Of course they refuse to do it! They need to cater to their bosses - the corporations! But I already explained that in the other thread with you, so I won’t repeat it here.

                Huh… You cared enough to complain, but when it’s time to actually look at the reality of the situation you no longer care? Funny how that happens.

      Ranked voting and redoing how the senate represent the masses is the first step.

      Term limits is second.

      Campaign promises third.

      If you fix those I believe it’ll be a far better election process

        What are you talking about…?

        None of this exists yet, so it’s not an alternative, it’s wishful thinking.

        My question was: since your choice is between Republicans or Democrats, what do you choose if you believe Dems are “as bad as” Reps? Not voting (meaning R-win)? Terror attacks (meaning R-win)? Assassinations (meaning R-win)?

          So who do you propose should win?

          My question was: since your choice is between Republicans or Democrats, what do you choose if you believe Dems are “as bad as” Reps? Not voting (meaning R-win)? Terror attacks (meaning R-win)? Assassinations (meaning R-win)?

          These are your two questions you fuckin bozo.

          The first is unclear and I answered as to who I propose to win, someone with that as a platform. Because party is irrelevant you bonehead.

          Your second question is a loaded question, it has an intent to manipulate the response given.

          Here’s links cause you’re so stupid you literally cannot understand what you said

            Mate, it’s only unclear if you’re from a different fucking planet. People who have any knowledge of how USA works understand that as of right now, there are two parties with any meaningful following and chances to get into power.

            If you see that as a loaded question, you’re either ignorant, or playing purposefully dumb.

          That wasn’t your question. Your question was who should win which is fucking silly. So I commented who should win, people who support those measures.

          R vs D is for idiots.

            Friend, are you high right now?

            There are (effectively) two political parties in the USA. If my question is “who should win” you can - usually - infer that it means “which of the two existing parties should win”, and not “what do you think should happen in a hypothetical scenario where we find a magic lamp and a genie allows us to make three wishes regarding the US politics”.

            R vs D is for idiots.

            Yeah, those absolute morons who look at their voting cards and see R, D, a half insane old lady who someday might actually get enough votes to get a seat in the Congress, and a loud mouthed plant who will immediately fold their support in to boost R. LOL!

      They aren’t proposing anything, which is why they shouldn’t be taken seriously.

        Your PFP shows exactly who you are. People ARE voting in the primaries for candidates that DO want to do something to stop Trump.

        Politicians literally compete in mockery contests of who can do the least for their constituents and still get elected, and consistently make fun of people who want to actually work. These are the people you support.
