What causes any kind of variation in people's preferences? Some people think Angelina Jolie is the most beautiful actress ever, and others think she just looks weird.

For all you know, you were scared by a spider at a a very young age and you just don't remember.

I am literally laughing out loud.

Just to remind you, my original point was that it was impossible to get 'first past the post' voting changed before the next election cycle.

You claimed it was possible to do it.

When I asked how, in detail, you responded by talkign about a movement that took decades to achieve their end.

You are like an angry child who wanted to play with the big kids, got scored on repeatedly, and is now running away mad that they didn't play fair.

Thanks, I needed a few laughs today!

That's not a plan, that's a wish list.

Explain in detail how you're going to get 'first past the post' overturned.

How are you going to take control of the election boards? Get new laws passed?

Details matter.

You are very funny.

Since you have such a great plan, why don't you lay it out in detail?

Angelina Jolie can get paid $1 million for an hour's work. You and I can't do that.

Some things are possible and others aren't.

There is literally no way to change the election system right now. Check with your local board of elections if you think I'm lying.

That's not going to happen before the next election.

Focus on what is in front of us right now.

Gay Marriage.

Obamacare

The Americans With Disabilities Act.

Change for good is possible.

"Both sides are the same" only helps the GOP.

The GOP loves Progressive 3rd Parties. Anything to drain off support from candidates who might actually win.

Back in the day, Frederick Douglas worked for Lincoln when Lincoln didn't promise to end slavery.

It's only going to get worse if people decide that voting doesn't matter.

Remember, both sides are the same is music to the GOPs ears.

Except for Obama, I have never been excited by anyone I've ever voted for. I still vote every time, because that's the only way any progress gets made.

And if you think no progress has been made, look at all the things Trump is trying to get rid of.

The Right votes in every election, every time. They vote in the primaries, the general elections,, and any special elections.

If you don't vote, don't be surprised when they keep winning.
