Continuously telling people they are "throwing their vote away", or shaming them into picking the lesser of two donuts. We will never have a viable third party run if everyone is scared to vote for one. We shouldn't limit ourselves to two parties- we've seen what a shit show that is. The Atlantic(?) has a great article about the two part system years ago.
both the superbowl and the presidential election are rigged equally and scripted, the outcomes are predetermined.
Good grief...that isn't even REMOTELY the same.
it's because manipulating fake results with only two parties is much easier than doing it with 4 parties.
It wasn't designed to be a two party system.
correct. it was designed to have any farmer or business owner or laborer at all, anyone, be prez. the poplulation in general. minus kids and foreign agents and such.
Trump is going to fill his staff with yes men and enablers who don’t have a line that they sre unwilling to cross.
Not necessarily talking about trump, but i heard many times that trump would queitly go away after the last election.
Roe was never overturned. It was dropped back to the States, and everyone was told to pass the laws, so it wasn't governed by the courts.
To just keep doing things the way they are, because of how they have been done is dated. Perpetuating that people are required to vote for one or the other is dangerous and flawed. Its incorrect to imply its the only way to do it, and dangerous because it prevents change.
exactly, even the roe thing didn't happen like dems said it would. it is up to the states as it should be. dems said it would totally be banned. it just shifted from feds to each state.
Even the conservative beacon of fox news disagrees with you
Obama had a super majority (unstoppable) and promised it was the first thing he did. FWD to 2024 and here we are, still no bill.
I agree with this. We need a viable 3rd party. If RFK Jr or the Libertarian candidate isn't on the stage for the debates that just shows a flawed system.
And when the Chiefs lose, you will have some other crackpot conspiracy. Rinse and repeat.
If there are states that allow abortions, then it was never overturned. They kicked it back to the states to be decided until Federal laws can be passed.
No worries. If anything, this basically is where I land, and the article I mentioned earlier.
The Supreme Court overturned Roe, regardless of what the states did thst followed it. FACT
There were people here claiming it was ridiculous to suggest Trump would do anything but gracefully hand over the reins if he was defeated in 2020.
You start by saying the outcome is inevitable and finish by saying his vote matters. Seems stupid.
What year was Roe v Wade decided?
Its all overreacting when we take conservatives at face value until they do what they say they will do. Then they get all pikachu face when what we have been saying all along happens
*sigh* There will never be a "viable third party" for a presidential election...unless you like the idea of the House of Representatives choosing the president. This is literally basic civics. A candidate must receive a majority of EC votes. It would be a very rare scenario where three viable parties are going to produce such a result. The consequence of that is that the election goes to the House. And I'm sure a major-party majority is going to pick the third-party candidate.
No worries. If anything, this basically is where I land, and the article I mentioned earlier.
America Is Now the Divided Republic the Framers Feared
John Adams worried that “a division of the republic into two great parties … is to be dreaded as the great political evil.” And that’s exactly what has come to pass.www.theatlantic.com
I would love to hear your scenario where RFK JR actually moves into the White House. How is that going to work?
The problem is they designed it so it could only produce that result at the presidential level...and that filters down.
In your opinion, if you detest both candidates- what is your path to getting better ones?
Yes, it does.
