I for example am a Republican

2019-10-10 17:02:46 UTC  

but live in a blue state

2019-10-10 17:02:58 UTC  

so I have voted for more democrats in my life than republicans

2019-10-10 17:03:01 UTC  

Good luck having your voice heard tbh

2019-10-10 17:03:03 UTC  

The white male bourgeoisie are oppressing the women/POC/lgbt proletariat!

2019-10-10 17:03:04 UTC  

thats INSANE

2019-10-10 17:03:16 UTC  

that I a republican can vote in a Democratic primary

2019-10-10 17:03:22 UTC  

is just asinine

2019-10-10 17:03:24 UTC  

In the UK there will soon be a change in voting operation.

2019-10-10 17:03:27 UTC  

Only in some states

2019-10-10 17:03:34 UTC  

Moving from FPTP

2019-10-10 17:03:34 UTC  

@Hexidecimark this is true

2019-10-10 17:03:35 UTC  

we must seize the means of (cultural) production!

2019-10-10 17:03:43 UTC  

Something the USA needs to do.

2019-10-10 17:03:51 UTC  

No I like FPTP

2019-10-10 17:04:05 UTC  

it gives legitimacy to the winner

2019-10-10 17:04:11 UTC  

proportional representation for me tbh

2019-10-10 17:04:21 UTC  

What? US has FPTP?

2019-10-10 17:04:23 UTC  

where?

2019-10-10 17:04:35 UTC  

by making wins look larger than they are

2019-10-10 17:05:02 UTC  

but it @Nathan James 123 I do see the argument for proportional as it relates to strengthening Policial parties

2019-10-10 17:05:05 UTC  

afaik if nobody wins presidentials, electors have free hand

2019-10-10 17:05:18 UTC  

or is that not so?

2019-10-10 17:05:21 UTC  

You need to break out of the two party system

2019-10-10 17:05:25 UTC  

Which is causing you so many issues.

2019-10-10 17:05:31 UTC  

You better shut your white male mouth up right FUCKING now

2019-10-10 17:05:36 UTC  

You can only vote on either side of the extreme spectrum

2019-10-10 17:05:39 UTC  

There's no middle-ground

2019-10-10 17:05:43 UTC  

Which is your fundamental problem

2019-10-10 17:05:50 UTC  

And why Russia was so effective in 2016

2019-10-10 17:05:55 UTC  

You're too divided.

2019-10-10 17:06:06 UTC  

And that shows in your parties

2019-10-10 17:06:20 UTC  

@Nathan James 123 thats because the parties are too weak

2019-10-10 17:06:32 UTC  

@Nathan James 123 they never used to be so insne

2019-10-10 17:06:35 UTC  

Which I think stems from their extremism

2019-10-10 17:06:41 UTC  

They were never this extreme either

2019-10-10 17:06:59 UTC  

YOU'RE EXTREME. YOU THINK LATINOS AT THE BOARDER SHOULD BE GASSED

2019-10-10 17:07:04 UTC  

As they've moved further to the left and the right, they've weakened and discontent has risen

2019-10-10 17:07:12 UTC  

and I think your discounting the idea that in the US system Proportional representation would lead to a BUNCH of extreme parties instead of Two large parties who have to marginalize their radicals @Nathan James 123

2019-10-10 17:07:29 UTC  

I do take your point

2019-10-10 17:07:54 UTC  

Honestly, both systems have their merits
