    Watch there be a record low voter turn out this year as moderates don’t want to vote for communists and left-wings are upset because the progressive candidate in general isn’t the exact flavor of manic socialist dream politician that they wanted.

        Yeah you have a party that actively hates us, our friends, our country and democracy itself and another one that isn’t perfect so let’s burn down the whole motherfucker right?

          Both of your sentiments have truth to them. The solution is something like Ranked Choice Voting, no? Of course, we’d need enough representatives able and willing to implement that change.

            Too many of my fellow Americans fail to see how big of an impact the outdated plurality voting system is. They don’t see how the math of plurality voting is ruining things, especially in serving the billionare Epstein Class instead of We the People. Reading about Duverger’s Law and seeing how the wealthy exploit it is too boring for them. It’s easier to get caught up in the D vs R puppet show than to find the roots of the problem and pull them out. Stop Plurality Voting in the US, state by state!

          It would be pretty absurd for centrists to see that choice and refuse to vote for the not perfect party, wouldn’t it?

          That’s the comeuppance your first comment was fantasizing about isn’t it?

      Ain’t that some bullshit that every time they win the primary I have to “hold my nose” and vote for their coprophagic ghoul, but when DSA sweeps the primary it’s “damn, I hope you had fun driving away moderates”

      Apparently a lot of people disagree with you, but sadly this is a highly possible outcome. It’s also exactly how the far right propaganda machine will spin it.
