no one fucking told me about states banning RCV during all that yapping on here about how i should VOTE THIRD PARTY OR ELSE IM COMPLICIT in the DNCs CRIMES
it may or may not be joever, very blackpilled at this moment
edit it’s actually 10 states. 5 in the past two months.
What is “anti-electoral disinformation”
“don’t vote because it makes you complicit in your oppression” and similar
that’s true though. do you have any examples that are actually misinformation?
Can you explain to me how voting makes one complicit? And how not voting doesn’t make one complicit when the worse of two evils is elected?
Union busting
Rolling back regulations
The list goes on…
hey, you can vote for a third party that represents your ideals and politics and it’s not throwing your vote away or voting for trump.
you don’t have to feel blackpilled, the way out of this is past the winners of this next election, not through them.
It’s a system designed to keep the 2 parties in power. Voting third party means your vote is effectively wasted in a FPTP system
If enough people do it over time I wouldn’t think so right?
Each time they would win over and over more seats.
But of course that would require voters to recognize the situation, take the L and keep on continuing voting the third party
In FPTP, not really because voting third party can split the vote between multiple parties meaning that none of them get a relative majority of votes and their common opponent wins instead. The system encourages you to vote for the next closes party that is the most likely to get more votes (strategic voting). It entirely favours a 2 party dynamic
This is a good video explanation that you may have seen before as it is popular
that video illustrates the problem with strategic voting: it consolidates parties. the lesson you sohuld learn from it is that strategic voting is actually voting against your own interest.
States have banned ranked choice voting??? wtf why???
Can you guess which party that holds a tenuous grasp over their constituents via fear would not want them having the option of voting for other people that might more closely align with their ideals and morals?
I mean, technically it’s both parties at this point, but Republicans know that RCV will be the absolute death of the current version of their party which has devolved into little more than a reactionary ultranationalist faction.
