I did, AND because my city does ranked choice voting, I got to pick someone for my first choice that I actually like. She probably won’t win, but it’s not dangerous for me to vote for her!
I think the yanks are having some sort of election, it usually is around Cup Day. They don’t have compulsory voting like us, so it’s a bit different attitudewise.
Yep, we usually have an election the first or second Tuesday of every November. On the one hand it sucks that more of us don’t vote, but on the other hand I’d rather that people who get a ballot and just pick whatever name sounds better not do that
Ohh yeah, you always get more evil, but it is earnestly less of it.
You prefer +1 evil or +10 evil? That’s our system of government. Push for voting reforms, which neither evil likes, but you are more likely to get with +1 evil then +10.
Typical hexbear! Suggesting we should address systemic issues to improve society somewhat. Don’t you see +1 evil is the best we can ever have? I am very intelligent and an Adult in the Room™
Of course, but maybe not to start. To start, vote for less evil. Next, mutual aid. Next, election reform. Next, unionization and systemic social support. Do as many “nexts” at the same time as possible.
Always be fucking up facists.
After that, we probally disagree, but that’s fine. I think we both will be walking a long way together.
This is the thing they can’t admit. That the system isn’t broken. It works exactly how its meant to, for the people ots meant to wirk for.
For libs its always some magic bullet, some minor reform, one reversal of one policy and it’ll all be fixed. “The problem is ‘first past the poll’ we need ‘ranked choice’ then elections will work.” For example
yeah i’m sure not voting definitely will change things
oh wait
and before you go on about doing other stuff than voting, you know that voting doesn’t keep you from also doing those things? not voting is just bad, no good. you’re not giving the state the finger you’re laying down and saying ‘do with me what you will idc.’
Precisely. I voted today and it took a few minutes of my time. There was still plenty of time in the morning to keep working on the things I think will make more of an impact re: improving things somewhat. Mutual aid and anything else in the bucket of “resisting tyrannical government” is much easier when it’s only +1 more evil rather than +10.
It isnt first past the post. It is bourgeois democracy. Things would be the same if there was one party or twenty so long as the bourgeoisie own the state.
