- this is a meta-commentary post about a prevailing sentiment that results in spam in this community.
- i support ranked choice voting/STAR voting. and you should too!
- go to https://fairvote.org/ranked-choice-voting-legislation/ to learn more and find legislation you can campaign for in your region.
but i swear by this point, we know. we are aware. the same point doesn’t need to be spammed every 3 comments. if it was as easy to overcome as copypasting the same four paragraphs every post, we’d have thrown off this oppression by now.
this wouldn’t be a problem if the spam wasn’t inserted into the most irrelevant of spaces. people are dying, their rights are being stripped. and yes, RCV would help this but politics is about working within the confines of current reality, not a hypothetical scenario where we fixed things 6 years ago.
just cool it with the spam. engage with each other as humans, not concepts to be dealt with.
What a dumb fucking comment.
Neither side will agree. If they got elected in by the system, they wont change the system that elected them in.
Yes, that’s why there is no movement towards ranked choice in the US.
Guess its time to delegitimize the system that got them elected.
Keep buying the broken thing, they will keep selling the broken thing.
Stop buying the broken thing, they will be forced to at least come up with a different thing.
As of last election, roughly a third of the country was Red, roughly a third of the country of Blue, and roughly a third of the country was disenfranchised.
Lets aim for 70% of the country disenfranchised and make them wear the shame until they fix it.
“Let’s just intentionally make things worse! Surely people won’t put up with it indefinitely!”
Fucking insanity.
You’re right. Supporting genocide and the continuing plunge into complete economic implosion IS insanity.
That’s why we need to do something that has a glimmer of a hope of changing that.
