Imagine going to vote for President and you and everyone could chose between Hillary, Bernie, Trump, Bush and others. Would Hillary or Bernie or a third candidate win?
thats how it currently works? well, minus the primaries bs
"35% votes right-wing, 25% votes socialist"
congrats, you now have socialist policies
but that is just for parties. there is no limit to people who can run. Bernie could have run independent i believe. and there is write in.
tbh, i'd rather abolish parties
but i don't see that happening
Prop rep really only makes sense if A: you don't care about regional representation and B: you care about parties
abolishing parties is like abolishinggovernment: a nice idea until two or more people team up and break the new system
pretty much
The presidential election was a poor example from my side. It is always a βwinner take it allβ situation. The better use would be house of reps.
Take the New York election. Would AOC be elected if she was not the dems first candidate?
Very few election systems actually mentions parties/election lists. Humans by nature are social and will form groups.
with your system? most likely still have gotten in anyway.
although i'm not sure how things work given that term limits don't end all at once with our system
so you are voting for only a few seats at a time usually
so you'd have to reset the cycle
Sorry I got to go, it was a nice chat.
@Beemann maybe we should go completely back to the original way president and vp were selected
Tbh though the actual issue is consolidation of federal power
You ever see a leftist youtuber named Jack Saint?
One of his videos has gone viral recently, a video about how that old disney movie "Sky High" is fascist propaganda. It's clearly somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but he actually makes a pretty solid case for how it's fascist in nature
hoo boy
one of them even called out and used clips of Tim
his video on how the NPC meme is a fascist propaganda tool
it's a very stupid concept but he's not *such* a dick about it that it really makes ma angry or anything
it's almost enjoyable to watch
he seems to have a decent personality
and he goes with the joke, pretending to cough up batteries and such lmao
>pronounces pseudo "swaydo"
Opinion disregarded
>complains a joke isn't factually accurate
>jumps to Aydin's video that actually debunks the factual claim people were trying to make alongside the joke
Wew
"old" disney movie, "sky high"
never heard of it
Yeah this video definitely isn't tongue in cheek. He's butthurt and comparing light mockery to fascism and kicking dogs
>b-but if I predict people will call me butthurt and play le safeword game it means I'm not XD
lol
im not saying this one is tongue in cheek, his Sky High video was
this one is just butthurt
yeah i hate when they think that lampshading their bullshit makes it not bullshit
like when a movie calls out how bad it is
but then proceeds to continue being bad
I like how he calls light mockery propaganda and acts as though it's Goebbels tier shit, but simultaneously makes a deliberate propaganda video labeling Tim as anti left and Aydin as someone who is trying to prove the factual accuracy of the inner narrative study
0/10, would bully
