Populism Updates @PopulismUpdates Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum

Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it's already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.

Blindly supporting the Two-Party System, and bullying those who don't, is anti-American. It will only lead to fascism.

EDIT - @chaogomu provided quality information on how to actually work with US voting and how to make a difference. Arrow's Impossibility Theorem and https://equal.vote

This is the future of US politics.

2024 - vote Democrat or the Republicans will end democracy.

2028 - vote Democrat or the Republicans will end democracy.

2032 - vote Democrat or the Republicans will end democracy.

2036 - vote Democrat or the Republicans will end democracy.

2040 - vote Democrat or the Republicans will end democracy.

And so on.

At some point, people will have to start voting third party because the two major parties will never give up the status quo.

The trick is to support ranked-choice voting in the meantime

And voting for Democrats or Republicans will accomplish that?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

No not really, but you can do both. Ranked choice voting has already been enacted in several places in the US and they didn't get there by electing third- party majorities
