Hence

Vote progressive in the primaries

Get enough Progressives and enough left-leaning Democrats together on the issue of rank choice voting, and it really could happen. Obviously, I'm of the opinion that it's the only way it could happen. So even if the chances are small, it's what I think we should shoot for.

I could be wrong, but isn't the "not annexing" because he doesn't recognize it as a separate territory in the first place?

Let's not pretend they don't know what they're doing. He means it exactly like that, and so does everyone who's listening to him.

If you're "out" then stop coming on social media to argue with people.

You don't want anything to do with the situation, but yet you insist on being part of the conversation.

Without me

Nobody asked you to be part of this conversation, yet you keep showing up. If your morals are so important to you, how about you keep your word.

asked to be part of a political system

But, you're not being asked. You already are. You don't get to pretend you're not, just because you didn't give your permission. This isn't an opt-in situation.

And I get that maybe you feel that isn't fair, and I agree it isn't. Just like none of us asked to be born, none of us asked to be part of society either. But we are, and we have to deal with that now.

His point is that some people think killing is so wrong that they'll actively advocate for a course of action that will kill waaaaay more people.

You value your own moral purity over the lives of other people.

That's his point.

That's how it's going to be as long as we continue to use First Past the Post voting.

And since the only people who have the desire, and potentially the power, to change that are Progressives who caucus with the Democrats, vote Progressive in the primaries and Democrat in the general. If you're not willing to do that, then yeah you might as well get comfortable with the current system.

Call him any way you want, he can still hear you.

So what you're saying is they think it's sporing
