    We have First Past the Post. You support Trump, Biden, or violent revolution – those are the choices

      Nope, that isn’t how math works. A vote for the Green Party is equivalent to not voting at all. Lying about it and stamping your feet won’t change anyone’s opinion. Also you guys always assume the GP voters are a subset of democrats when in reality most of them are not. Most would not vote for democrats if their first choice were taken away.

      They’re just a convenient excuse for you whenever Dems lose because it’s easier to blame them than to hold dem leadership accountable for their very obvious and repeated failures. And it’s surely easier than holding yourself accountable for constantly nominating weak candidates. I mean you all got handed fucking Obama and still fought tooth and nail against him in the primary because you’re so scared of even slightly rocking the boat. Dem voters are gigantic cowards and enablers

      You will not shame people into voting for Biden, it’s actually insane to see you all trot out this failed tactic yet again

        This seems like a misplaced rant? But anyway, go read up on First Past the Post and understand why it is the shittiest voting system. We will never make real progress as long as it is in place.
