    “There is no choice.” “You do not have a choice.” Classic catchphrases of a healthy, functioning democracy

        Shit take. Fascism is never out of the picture and spouting “vote blue no matter who” only pushes the window closer to it. You’ll just say the same thing in 4 years when it’s Trump again or one of his many soundalikes vs another genocidal Zionist wearing a D by their name. Engaging with the 2 party system validates it and it will never be “healthy.”

      Did someone say this was a healthy democracy? We’re talking about fucking survival

      As this situation only applies to a small minority of voters, this is literally the definition of how democracy works.

        Not sure what you mean, but it sounds like you just don’t care because it doesn’t affect your choice. I wonder how you will feel if one day your party’s candidate finally crosses your line

          Very few people love their candidate, even with alternative voting systems. Compromise is indeed part of the deal.
