So instead of one shitty country there are several shitty countries?

United Scammers and Assholes

California voted to keep prison slavery in place. Our entire country is the sick man of the Americas.

Less a breeze and more a huge stinky fart.

Uhoh, that includes you.

I’m quitting all my jobs and will be unable to afford housing very soon. (again)

But at least I will be able to breathe.

I think it’s very likely the dems will slowly (depending on AOCs popularity, faster) shift more progressive.

“First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season.”

Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

Could you explain how Alaska or Maine managed to have a Ranked-Choice Voting system?

Look into star voting when you have a chance. The democrats can be whatever they want if the voters get the freedom to transfer their vote how they wish.

Is it really easier to imagine the end of the United States of America compared to voting outside the two party system?

If you aren’t a die hard democrat or republican, you have never in your lifetime had a fair election because of the artificial limitations imposed by First-past-the-post voting

Political parties can create their own political realities by leading the electorate

Manufacturing consent? What ever happened to representative democracy?

I will vote for the democrats if I am able to transfer my vote after my real choices dont win. Best get on that electoral reform blue states.
