repeating your story doesn't make it rational.
It's the truth. You don't like it, too bad. Campaign for ranked choice voting.
saying it's true dosn't make it so.
I'm just relaying information.
relaying incorrect and misleading information is a disservice.
Parroting Russian misinfo is a disservice.
I don't think anyone here is doing that
don't tell me what to do.
I'm just advising you on how to actually achieve what you say you want. Alternatively, you could scream and cry and poop your pants some more. Been working great so far.
but you're wrong. so i'm not taking your "advice"
3rd parties cannot win presidential elections. That has been true for every election in the history of America. And you have the arrogance to say that's wrong?
it's wrong to say that they can win but only if you don't vote for them. it makes no sense at all.
What? No it's just mathematically impossible for them to win.
it's impossible to win.. if people don't vote for you.
Even if they do, still can't win. Do you not know how first past the post voting works?
the only way any candidate wins is people voting for them
I ask again, do you know how first past the post voting works?
it's not a magic phrase that makes it possible for someone to win without getting votes.
So, no.
