  • The main thing that frustrates me is that the US due to the electoral collage is a winner take all system so it mostly doesent allow for smaller parties to get any influence.

    So for people who want to expend their political capital their main opptions are to vote for one of the two parties that have the possibilety to change things.

    Generally (and im saying generally for a reason) the democrats are better than the republicans. Are they all good? Fuck no! (Also i am aware this is a generalisation instrad of treating each polititian individually) But for alot of people having a democratic victory is better .

    The political discorse that discourages people from vote can and will have drastic consequences. E.g. suppreme courte justices. The supreme court is more and more political and one party has appointed justices that have undemined the rule of law. The fact that in prinicple all of the justices appointed by democrats have voted against the measures shows clearly that those changes couls been avoided if more poeple had voted democrat.

    Is this me saying “vote blue no matter who?” No! Voters should vote for what they think is best for them and their comunity, but it’s also important to be a realist and understand why people do it, becouse for some it can be life and death.

    Would it be better if the majorty of voters voted greens or similair? Yes! But could it be seen as a too large of a risk as it could caus their situations to get worse? Also yes.

    My view is that sadly rn the best option the US has is essentially to change the Dem party from the inside. Becouse right now most voters are in a delemma where if not a large enough population suddently swings to a third option they will increase the risk that the openly fascist death cult stays in power.



  • I get what you mean, i think my point is more regarding who the sufferinf party is.

    The customer is the end “sufferer”. So should have the repirations. This is a wierd metaphot but hear me out. Lets say someone tries to shoot me. I dodge it and someone behinds me gets shot. A judge ordera the shooter to pay for the medical bills. Would it be fair for me to get that money? Or should it go to the person who got shot? Yes maybe i deserve some compensation. But compleatly ignoring the person who got shot feels wrong no?
