    Tell me you don’t understand how FPTP voting systems guide voting choices to only have two ineffective candidates.

      Wow! Its almost like the argument that voting for democrats results in anything meaningfully different from voting for republicans rests on a faulty premise! And its almost as if the logic underlying the argument that a vote for democrats is in any way meaningful demands the conclusion that a vote for a third party would then be more meaningful, but the whole argument itself rests on the faulty assumption that the USA is a democracy, when it actually is a capitalist oligarchy, wherein the two prominent political parties do the same horrible shit! And they maintain a grasp on power and a propensity for doing horrible shit no matter how you vote! Wow! Wish someone would have said that! Wow!

      Anyway tell me you have a toddlers grasp on politics and the memory of a goldfish without telling me: [write whatever you wrote and then whatever your response to this will be]

        You definitely have poor understanding of how to get others to follow your opinions, I mean your username please!

        Pol is about getting others to follow you if you can’t even fathom that you might as well be an angry vegan with no friends.

          Classic, act like a dickhead, get treated in kind and then retreat to cry about civility. You’re like an ill-behaved child.

          You definitely have poor understanding of how to get others to follow your opinions, I mean your username please!

          Lmao. Sad that you approach every interaction with the mindset of convincing the other. Even sadder that you suck so much at it you dont understand how convincing others function in a public forum.

          Weird non-sequitor. Incidentally I’ve met way less insufferable vegans than I’ve met insufferable people who complain about vegans.

                  I do think treating you like dirt makes my experience here better, but I’m not really worried about presenting myself in the most optimal way for some randos on a niche internet forum, but if you are then you should probably recitfy your behavior, you are pretty insufferable.
