hell if we'd just listened to George Washington we wouldnt have parties and we'd be voting on the person

And jill stein is said to be insane

hate to say it but voted shillary

it felt gross

but better option in my opinion at the time

I dont blame you lol

Oh no

Uou did what

There is lots of reasons to not vote trump or Hilary

Voted Gary. Was more hoping that a rise in third party votes would be a warning to the parties

@Nine my thoughts exactly

Harambe shoulda won kek

iirc third party votes did see an increase from the average as did turnout

which made me happy

Getting closer to that damn 5%

although all the partisans were like "oooh itll split the vote" blah blah blah

It's our fault Trump won

Blame game political media the last two years made me hate politicians/pundits more than I did before

Ive gotten in consistent debates about the first past the post system in regards to viable third party options

he says we cant do it

i just point out other countries with the same system that DO

Really? Which ones?

UK

i think France

They have constiently had 2 parties, then a 3rd rose?

Historically, it seems that one party gets replaced. It feels about time for it to happen again

Canada

I see

etc

thing is while most end up with only two in power the variations/combnations of parties change

Paradigm Shift is practically already here

so yea new party might be what it takes the form of

Like how the left is becoming more socialist, in some ways, and the right is becoming more socially liberal

some

they still have tea partiers in the Repubs

I always thought we should have a Republican and a dem together so pres is a Republican and the vice is a dem and same for the reverse

We USED to do that

Didn't work for that first dual party election

early American history

No shit

I had no idea
