    Not at the expense of democracy, at least I hope. There is no other option this year.

      And this will be repeated every election year from here on out now that the DNC knows they can get away with it.

        There are other avenues that can be taken in a democracy between now and the next election. Ranked choice voting would be great.

        How would a trump win help the genocide happening in Gaza??

          Is this the only thing any of you can say?

          No remotely sane person is saying trump would be better. That doesn’t mean the DNC isn’t fucking us over a barrel. Sitting around parroting “Hur dur but trump worse” is just enabling them. After trump there will be someone else and the DNC will just keep following the overton window to the right because they just need to keep pointing out that the other guy is worse. Plus all their online enablers will just shut down any discussion by repeating “well you must love trump if you don’t like the DNC stepping on your balls. Yum yum tasty boot.”

          Newsflash they will never give us RCV. RCV would take this new powerful tool of “but other guy worse” away from them and they are never going to sacrifice that power.
