Who took away our option to vote to make things better?
Oh yeah, the consumerist scumbags who kept voting against Bernie in the primaries.
If they're mad now, I'm happy. I would've been mad at either outcome, but now the people who took away the good option can be upset too.
Start running better candidates, guys! It's not that hard if you're not a greedy scumbag piece of shit or a useful idiot!
(it turns out, neo-liberals are greedy scumbag pieces of shit)
The first past the post election system did.
If you want things to get better in elections, you need to get rid of primaries. Instead implement a voting scheme where you aren't punished for ranking your desires honestly.
In the current system, the only votes that matter are the ones for the two leading candidates. Any other vote is equivalent to not voting.
