Fucking auto correct

2018-10-10 05:56:39 UTC  

at least it's not a 1-party system like in some countries, or a multiple party system to disguise their 1-party system like singapore

2018-10-10 05:56:51 UTC  

no its not that

2018-10-10 05:57:02 UTC  

Its more a fake idea of variety

2018-10-10 05:57:09 UTC  

when in reality u got 4 choices

2018-10-10 05:57:24 UTC  

and thats when you line up all their policies

2018-10-10 05:59:09 UTC  

in Indonesia, at least, you have different flavors of political leanings as each party have different flavors between religious, seculars, democratic, conservatives, socialists, etc.

2018-10-10 05:59:41 UTC  

Welp the green party here used to be very heavy on enviroment and stuff

2018-10-10 06:00:03 UTC  

but in recent years its more a socialist party with some enviromental flavours as an afterthought

2018-10-10 06:00:09 UTC  

yeah

2018-10-10 06:00:23 UTC  

it's rather weird to see the evolution of green party

2018-10-10 06:02:21 UTC  

but eh.... I don't think there's a way to get a third national party to show up in America

2018-10-10 06:02:51 UTC  

Not when large portions of the population still think of it as "raised as X"

2018-10-10 06:03:04 UTC  

yeah

2018-10-10 06:03:41 UTC  

i dunno what those numbers are, im just going off what i see people say about themselves

2018-10-10 06:04:36 UTC  

like seriously, my family have changed political party choice for so many times since it doesn't really matter on what you pick, but who you pick.

2018-10-10 06:04:54 UTC  

I have yet to vote for the same party twice

2018-10-10 06:04:59 UTC  

since we pick a candidate on each candidate's merit

2018-10-10 06:05:20 UTC  

instead of purely on their political party

2018-10-10 06:05:40 UTC  

(although some people do pick party choices)

2018-10-10 06:05:49 UTC  

u have ppl like that here as well

2018-10-10 06:06:33 UTC  

I guess that's why it's unlikely for a party to reign on multiple terms

2018-10-10 06:06:47 UTC  

Yes but,

2018-10-10 06:07:04 UTC  

over here they can put a majority party out of the whole system

2018-10-10 06:07:21 UTC  

if the other parties decided to band together against said party

2018-10-10 06:07:33 UTC  

and it only has to collect enough to form a majority

2018-10-10 06:07:50 UTC  

essentially you can end up with your vote being the majority vote and still end up in the opposition

2018-10-10 06:08:21 UTC  

and when you are dealing with an increasing partisan mentality

2018-10-10 06:08:45 UTC  

well, look at trump and how everything he says or does is bad per default according to some ppl

2018-10-10 06:09:17 UTC  

ive seen that already in my country with a certain party, which are pretty far right lets be honest

2018-10-10 06:09:25 UTC  

I mean, he does say a lot of awful stuffs

2018-10-10 06:09:28 UTC  

to be honest

2018-10-10 06:09:34 UTC  

Good

2018-10-10 06:09:51 UTC  

yea but my point is

2018-10-10 06:11:20 UTC  

but I do get your point

2018-10-10 06:12:09 UTC  

Yeah well

2018-10-10 06:12:17 UTC  

i gotta vote in a few days

2018-10-10 06:12:33 UTC  

presidential election in Indonesia is in 2019

2018-10-10 06:13:44 UTC  

i gotta vote for local stuff i believe, cant remember

2018-10-10 06:14:48 UTC  

but damn, I'm more eager to see who's going to be the new mayor after her term ends next year

2018-10-10 06:15:02 UTC  

heh
