A 3rd party is not viable in our election system. This is not a question of will, it's a question of math. If your goal is handing the greater evil power for the foreseeable future you're doing a great job.
Yes it is.
It's a question of both. You have to be willing to fight against evil to win, something that most people in the US aren't willing to do.
That's obviously not my goal. My goal is to stop evil people from keeping power. It's people who keep supporting the evil parties who, by definition, want that.
Your "nuh uh" reasoning is too much for me. Even the parts where you admit your plan won't work in a democracy ("most people"). I look forward to voting for the perfectly good 3rd party you create. Please email me the details at goreadabook@clowncollege.com
I'm basing my strategy on evidence. Your strategy of "support the people who help the fascists, and give them more power" isn't working.
Agreed. Your evidence is irrefutable. The long history of successful 3rd parties in America can not be denied. Please share the name of your perfectly good, passes all purity tests, 3rd Party so we can start voting for it already!
Well the limited history of 3rd parties worldwide is actually pretty good. And the evidence of sticking with abusers is also pretty solidly bad. But I wouldn' t expect a Lib to know their history, especially when it comes to other countries.
Yeah, that's easy: Any part that thinks bombing kids, and supporting rapists is bad. It's such a low bar, that I'm constantly amazed that Libs can't pass it.
I like the way you bend everything past the breaking point. Great chat.
