this voting system is stupid as f@%k though: as a voter, you should be able to sort your candidates as per your preference, not chose pick one and only one

Too complicated for 90% of voters to comprehend.
They saw: Democrat president made my groceries more expensive
They heard: Democrat replacement will do things around the same as they used to be. Republican guy is going to do things VERY differently.
And the herd mentality took over past that point
I hated reading this, because it sure seems like it’s the truth.
Yes, the lesser evil lost to the greater one again, and they and their diehard supporters insist on learning nothing.
People didn’t turn out much more than they changed their vote.
Drag will amend drag’s question.
You seriously thought a fascist dictatorship was an alternative not worth preventing?
Your point’s ok, but your habit of speaking about yourself in the third person is really grating and it comes across as snobby.
No, it sounds like regression to a toddler’s inability to use pronouns.
Drag isn’t talking about dragself in third person.
🙄 Proceeds to talk in some weird third-person adjacent way of referring to themselves. Shut up dude.
It’s just a gimmick account with a silly style to amuse themself, who gives a shit? Just ignore it and move on…
No, drag is using first person pronouns.
Me: About to buy my first home.
Also me: Trump is going to be president??? Fuuuuuuck. May as well just light this big pile of money on fire!
Aw hell…doesn’t matter anyways. Pennies don’t melt…
Not only pennies do melt, they are more valuable once molten. It’s just illegal to do it.
…well shit. I spent my teenage years selling weed. I didn’t know I could make money burning things!
Also me: Trump is going to be president??? Fuuuuuuck. May as well just light this big pile of money on fire!
Invest in prison stocks. Watch them go to the moon.
RCV
Eh.
We’ve had it since 1919 in Australia, yet we still have the same two parties right and righter.
RCV alone is not the answer.
That’s because Australia has a system like the US electoral college, but even more granular.
You’re right. Most people will still vote for the primary candidates, but in an election like this past one where we could have had Harris and a white man on the Dem ticket, RCV could have swung the vote blue.
And no, alone it will not fix the problems, but it’s a key change. Yall have around 20% of offices held by third party or independent. US has none or close to none.
I mean okay. That’s kind of not how people work. You can hate it, but it’s just not how people work. I thought y’all had learned that by now.
More people voted for the candidate I don’t like than the one I do. Democracy is broken. /s
Drag thinks you’ve misunderstood the argument here. Drag isn’t claiming American democracy is already over. Drag is claiming it will be over next year when Trump implements Project 2025.
WASHINGTON, July 27 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump told Christians on Friday that if they vote for him this November, “in four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.”
Trump said: "Christians, get out and vote, just this time. “You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what, it will be fixed, it will be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.”
He added: “I love you Christians. I’m a Christian. I love you, get out, you gotta get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again, we’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote,” Trump said.
American tears, so salty right now
Yeah buddy, this is not going to affect the rest of the world at all!
Yes, drag’s friends who are going to die are crying. You’re welcome to make as much fun of them as you like.
Oh, yay. More sour grapes.
