*sigh*. What now, Columbo? Y’know I’ve tried to be very helpful you know, with all of your questions, but now it’s becoming very annoying! I’m very busy you know with all my, uh, hacking, as you can plainly see!

Welcome to the future

Nooooooooo Dems are terrible and the same as republiQans!1! The non-voters have spoken (but not voted)!

I constantly see establishment Dems point to X as why we cannot change the voting/election structures, but rarely to never see the same voices _agitate to change_ those same structures.

Do these articles NOT show you Dems “agitating” to change those structures? Including the VP nom? I say that a cursory search showed them, and if I were to fuck with enshittified google enough I’d find many more examples.

Would you admit you were wrong then? Perhaps mistaken? Doubt.

So yeah I didn’t finish my doctoral thesis on easily disprovable lies to enable a foregone conclusion, only to illustrate that the huge leaps you made were wrong. I haven’t personally interviewed the 450 members of the DNC either, so your pronouncement that they like and defend the duopoly may be so - but I doubt it.

The DNC and RNC like the duopoly, and actively defend it.

Defend it with what. Are they preventing third parties from forming? The 53 that are said to exist today must have thwarted them, then. Defending it in seekrit underground caves, hand-in-hand with “christian” nationalists, chanting in latin or lovecraftian? Is there even a NY Post article about it?

Did they refuse to let a russian stooge share the debate stage to continue her bad-faith campaign to throw the election to trump? Yeah they did, and so they should - fuck that bullshit.

Speaking of defending, what about your vaunted third party advocates stating plainly and openly their determination to throw the election to trump? Need a cite for that?

You can falsely categorize the Dems as status-quo mongers but (a) that’s false, (b) some good is better than all bad, (c} you can affect change by participating with them, and (d) third-parties have got nothing, and in four years everyone gets to trip over themselves to have this exact same russian argument again.

Name one third party that has any shot at being elected to national office in four years. Cite your sources, less than a thousand words, papers under your desk, #2 only.

“zios”?

Mood.

Rules for thee.

That’s loser talk. C’mon Go Team.

It was a complete coincidence that their positions aligned exactly with russian troll farms. What were the odds?? Amazing.

Stop. Being. Wrong.

Democratic senators want to amend Constitution to abolish Electoral College

Electoral College ‘needs to go,’ Walz says. Other Democratic candidates have agreed

Democratic voting bill would make biggest changes in decades

True, but they won’t do it because they’re not serious. It’s performative as much as it is spoilage. I’ll be super impressed if one third party is able to be nationally recognized with more than a token presidential candidate in four years.

Hey it only took us a couple of decades!

Understanding media is going super well you guys.

Brexit pays off again!

I stand arguably corrected.

Not at all, in fact Bernie is in the unofficial largest 3rd party (sorry Libertarians), the Independents. Now of course that’s not a party as such, but that was his compromise.

If Bernie and AOC say jump, I’ll say how high. But Nothing’s new there and we’re totally fuX0r3d for the next four years because Jill Stein and a russian op doppelganger crew decided trump for all. Third party? We’ll be lucky to have the remnants of a civil society.

You’d have to define center-left in terms of American.

On here, center-left is deemed to be the malodorous goblins of corporate sleaze, but left is wanting trump to win, so - I dunno. It’s weird.

Nor I.

Yeah but he lied on his form. So. It’s just a matter of bringing this to the attention of the authori . . .

Okay look, there’s a plan B that’s had one big success already.

Boom.

Well . . . yeah. It’s Florida.
