    No, they’re right - the Constitution says the person who receives the most votes is President. With the added fuckery of the Slaver’s College, third parties have an unbelievably hard lift to get anywhere close to President.

    It’s just not going to happen without a huge base, and there isn’t one. There never is. Just stunt candidates ripping people off for fun & profit.

          I mean, does it?

          Is the goal to make things worse or so unbearable that society does a 180 and says “Oh man, maybe voting so the literally nazis don’t win is a beter idea.” or does society just get beaten down and beaten down? How long does real society change take? It took slaves what, oh 200+ years? How’s Russia fairing these days?

          By not voting you’re actively encouraging things to get worse before they get better.
