It was bad or bad
We need good individual candidates that really only use the parties as a platform to speak from
I voted Gary
Gary was goofball
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
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
