Krusty- have thought a lot about this and I think no voting

Posted by JackDawson (aka dawson) Mar 26 '20, 07:09

My disillusionment with the political system is that complete

Responses:

You sound entitled, privileged and petulant. Congrats. -- nm - TWuG Mar 26, 08:12 3
- You sound like an asshole but what else is new? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 26, 08:17 2
  - I get that way when smart people do stupid shit. Stop doing stupid shit, you're smart enough to know and do better. -- nm - TWuG Mar 26, 08:31 1
    - We are currently doing the same stupid shit and hoping that it gets better and in fact it gets worse. Reasonable minds can differ on who’s doing the s - JackDawson Mar 26, 08:39
I understand, but you just become part of the problem then. They may both suck, but one is far less evil. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 26, 07:11 15
- Actually there’s a very strong argument that voting for either of them is part of the problem — they’re both the problem -- nm - JackDawson Mar 26, 07:19 11
  - There’s room for 3 and 4 major parties, the problem is money. - Tim Mar 26, 07:23 10
    - not really. our type of system will always gravitate to a two-party alignment -- (link*) - znufrii Mar 26, 07:36 [youtube] 1
      - We. Like. To party. - Spawn Mar 26, 07:54
    - I'm not sure it would work without ranked-choice voting. -- nm - mara Mar 26, 07:24 5
      - It works pretty much everywhere. - Marlowe Mar 26, 07:37 3
        
        Any parliamentary system is not comparable. -- nm - psilotum Mar 26, 08:00 2
        
        I know. There are a few other presidential systems out there. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 26, 08:03 1
        
        Mexico. But, jury out on whether it works -- nm - JackDawson Mar 26, 08:31
      - It does. -- nm - Andie Mar 26, 07:35
    - Is "socially liberal/fiscally conservative" really 'left' though? -- nm - ty97 Mar 26, 07:24 1
      - It’s not, but it’d be to the left of the party that’s socially and fiscally conservative. -- nm - Tim Mar 26, 07:28
- The perfect is the enemy of the good. -- nm - mara Mar 26, 07:14 2
  - Except in Buckaroo Banzai, when Perfect Tommy was the enemy of pure evil from the 8th dimension. -- nm - Max Mar 26, 07:16 1
    - *taps his watch* I'm still waiting on that sequel, Hollywood. -- nm - Ba Baron Ron Ron Mar 26, 07:20
Can I change your mind by saying, then you will be just like me. -- nm - Bacon Mar 26, 07:10 2
- Ok this may work -- nm - JackDawson Mar 26, 07:19 1
  - Don't be like Bacon, Jack! - Bacon Mar 26, 07:21
*smh* That makes no sense to me. -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 07:10 7
- but what if I vote for a third party won’t you say I’m part of the problem too? So I’m forced to vote for the Dems? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 26, 07:18 6
  - If *ever* there was a time it was a "good" vs EVIL vote, this is it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 26, 07:59 3
    - At least Less Evil VS Evil. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 26, 08:04 2
      - I disagree with that. Someone that works within the system vs one that destroys it and rebuilds it in his image. -- nm - Spawn Mar 26, 08:10 1
        
        I said Evil. - JaxSean Mar 26, 08:15
  - Use the primaries to vote for better Dem options. Use the general to vote for better than GOP options. - ty97 Mar 26, 07:19 1
    - This! -- nm - Krusty Mar 26, 07:24
