Yeah it kind of did happen in gb

2018-06-02 23:29:05 UTC  

@Somi to prevent a government position being seen as a reward maybe we should stick 'em in a barracks and feed them only cafeteria food.

2018-06-02 23:29:10 UTC  

With liberal Democrats

2018-06-02 23:29:15 UTC  

At one point

2018-06-02 23:29:22 UTC  

And in that case, they'd simply replace either of the two original parties in the long term.

2018-06-02 23:30:02 UTC  

I ahte this line of arguement that a vote for a third is vote for the other. How do you think the UK got their Brexit ref? It was coz of the growth in votes for UKIP. Everyone that voted for them knew they would never win but the message was sent. Politics is a long game.

2018-06-02 23:30:18 UTC  

It's simply a matter of fact that that's the case, Poppy.

2018-06-02 23:30:28 UTC  

It is, in the US.

2018-06-02 23:30:36 UTC  

It's called the spoiler effect, look it up. It's a problem inherent to the first-past-the-post voting system.

2018-06-02 23:30:46 UTC  

Yup.

2018-06-02 23:31:57 UTC  

Here, CGP Grey did a video about the problems with the system

2018-06-02 23:32:15 UTC  

good ol' CGP

2018-06-02 23:33:46 UTC  

Well in us

2018-06-02 23:34:17 UTC  

You have bernie and progressive wave comming

2018-06-02 23:34:32 UTC  

I'm not certain we do.

2018-06-02 23:34:35 UTC  

I wonder how big splash it will make in the end

2018-06-02 23:35:18 UTC  

Participation in Republican primaries absolutely swept away democrat participation in most areas

2018-06-02 23:35:27 UTC  

RyeCast, I wouldn't underestimate the JD

2018-06-02 23:35:42 UTC  

JD?

2018-06-02 23:35:54 UTC  

Justice Democrats.

2018-06-02 23:38:36 UTC  

ugh, that's a doublespeak name if ever I've seen one.

2018-06-02 23:39:38 UTC  

Lol

2018-06-02 23:39:43 UTC  

Agreed

2018-06-02 23:40:03 UTC  

But i would not underestimate them

2018-06-02 23:40:11 UTC  

thank Kyle Kulinskie for it. Super hero movies were big at the time 😉

2018-06-02 23:40:40 UTC  

I like kyle but the name is 100% cringe

2018-06-02 23:41:41 UTC  

His coverage of the election was top notch but he is swimming against the tide with the 'progressives'

2018-06-02 23:46:48 UTC  

Well he certainly is better then young turks

2018-06-02 23:49:36 UTC  

Secular Talk is respectable. I’ve certainly got no beef with Kyle.

2018-06-02 23:49:42 UTC  

TYT is fun when something happens tha causes Chunk to have a mental breakdown

2018-06-02 23:51:17 UTC  

TYT is fun to laugh at. That is true. If you watch their livestream chat it’s like 90% hate watchers

2018-06-02 23:51:24 UTC  

I can't even hate watch TYT

2018-06-02 23:53:47 UTC  

Yeah i pretty much gave up on them at this point too

2018-06-02 23:54:38 UTC  

At least when i watch Jimmy Dore i feel he is genuine

2018-06-02 23:55:02 UTC  

But TyT is just shill fest now

2018-06-02 23:58:12 UTC  

Agreed.

2018-06-03 02:03:47 UTC  

I used to watch TYT a lot.

2018-06-03 02:04:00 UTC  

I stopped around the time of the Sam Harris interview they had.

2018-06-03 02:04:10 UTC  

That really bugged me.

2018-06-03 02:04:54 UTC  

I think that was about the time they really started to lose all self awareness, or maybe I just started to notice it.
