No mail in ballots? oof

2018-11-06 19:12:57 UTC  

I did mail, but my university mail room is retarded.

@meratrix vote straight r in contested races, vote libertarian in safe races

2018-11-06 19:17:28 UTC  

@galesteppes I am a principled nigger.

2018-11-06 19:18:47 UTC  

And my principles say that the Democrat party needs to be metaphoricallly bitch slapped lol

2018-11-06 19:19:15 UTC  

yeah, having a 2 party system is fucked in my opinion

2018-11-06 19:19:48 UTC  

see if in the UK, the choices would be Tories or Labour

2018-11-06 19:19:49 UTC  

it's kinda inevitable i think

2018-11-06 19:20:11 UTC  

the UK would be infinitely more fucked than it is currently

2018-11-06 19:20:47 UTC  

thing is American political parties are not a monolith

2018-11-06 19:21:20 UTC  

it's an identifier but not a requirement

2018-11-06 19:22:19 UTC  

I don't doubt that you have more knowledge on the subject than me

2018-11-06 19:22:39 UTC  

like, there's no reason that a member of the Republican Party can vote entirely like the Democrats

2018-11-06 19:22:55 UTC  

I get that

2018-11-06 19:23:43 UTC  

I think that having more than 1 leftwing party and 1 rightwing party, is much better

2018-11-06 19:24:14 UTC  

the problem with a 2 party system is that both party could go too far to either side

2018-11-06 19:24:14 UTC  

the states would need to implement some sort of ranked voting then

2018-11-06 19:24:37 UTC  

otherwise voting for a third party just torpedoes your own ideological base

2018-11-06 19:24:48 UTC  

or MMP

2018-11-06 19:25:30 UTC  

I personally find the system in the UK better in principle

2018-11-06 19:26:12 UTC  

Mathematically it isn't tbh

2018-11-06 19:26:24 UTC  
2018-11-06 19:26:37 UTC  

saw that

2018-11-06 19:26:42 UTC  

has already been linked in here i believe

2018-11-06 19:26:52 UTC  

Google translate oldspeak to newspeak

2018-11-06 19:26:53 UTC  

also in some uk constiutancies, the tories won with 30-40%

2018-11-06 19:27:09 UTC  

meaning that 70-60% of the district didn't even vote for them

2018-11-06 19:27:11 UTC  

Oh ok I'm sorry for reposti

It's not a two party system <:pepe_smug:378719408341909506>

2018-11-06 19:28:21 UTC  

It essentially is one

Only NPCs have binary thought <:NPC:500042735617703967>

2018-11-06 19:29:37 UTC  

Only NPCs reject the facts

2018-11-06 19:42:28 UTC  

Polls are Irrelevant

2018-11-06 19:42:29 UTC  

but

2018-11-06 19:43:25 UTC  

The most accurate end model, (put together by a guy on Youtube) was correct in 2016 with Trump winning 304

2018-11-06 19:43:30 UTC  

based on primary turnout

2018-11-06 19:43:43 UTC  

shows the Republicans winning with a 3 seat majority at 219

2018-11-06 19:45:29 UTC  

i'm predicting a blue wave
