when in reality u got 4 choices
and thats when you line up all their policies
in Indonesia, at least, you have different flavors of political leanings as each party have different flavors between religious, seculars, democratic, conservatives, socialists, etc.
Welp the green party here used to be very heavy on enviroment and stuff
but in recent years its more a socialist party with some enviromental flavours as an afterthought
yeah
it's rather weird to see the evolution of green party
but eh.... I don't think there's a way to get a third national party to show up in America
Not when large portions of the population still think of it as "raised as X"
yeah
i dunno what those numbers are, im just going off what i see people say about themselves
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.
I have yet to vote for the same party twice
since we pick a candidate on each candidate's merit
instead of purely on their political party
(although some people do pick party choices)
u have ppl like that here as well
I guess that's why it's unlikely for a party to reign on multiple terms
Yes but,
over here they can put a majority party out of the whole system
and it only has to collect enough to form a majority
essentially you can end up with your vote being the majority vote and still end up in the opposition
and when you are dealing with an increasing partisan mentality
well, look at trump and how everything he says or does is bad per default according to some ppl
ive seen that already in my country with a certain party, which are pretty far right lets be honest
I mean, he does say a lot of awful stuffs
to be honest
Good
yea but my point is
but I do get your point
Yeah well
i gotta vote in a few days
presidential election in Indonesia is in 2019
i gotta vote for local stuff i believe, cant remember
but damn, I'm more eager to see who's going to be the new mayor after her term ends next year
heh
since it would be a tough job to continue her excellent work
federal level politics here, honestly at this point i dont see how those matter anymore
it does matter here tho
yea i been pretty happy with the mayor we had here for the last few years
