Good juxtaposition - in the US situation, the solution to two evils is not choosing neither, but choosing the lesser of the two. Only then can we make progress towards a world we all want
Ive been told to vote for the lesser of two evils for as long as ive been able to vote, and things have only gotten worse.
No.
Once we get ranked choice voting, sure. In the current landscape, the only viable option is the less bad of the two most popular. One choice only per vote, any ties in specific districts lead to a runoff until one choice wins. If we could push an actually good candidate into the top 2, then great! Otherwise, we're kind of forced to either do damage control or risk splitting the vote. That's the system right now.
Never going to happen and you know it.
With that attitude yup. The attitude of self-disenfranchisement against electoral participation is a close bedfellow with the attitude that self-disenfranchises against direct action and revolution.
Buddy we are disenfranchised. How the fuck do we ranked choice voting? The DNC and Boomers would fight against that the same way they've fought against everything else that would benefit any generations after the boomers.
Wake the fuck up. These rich fucks hate us and you're here acting like they're gonna give us what we need to start winning? What fucking planet are you on?
By working on getting it passed at the state and even local level where we can. Some states already have it passed, such as Alaska of all places.
The rich fucks won't give us what we need to start winning. We have to build that ourselves. That's kind of the whole fucking point of getting people politically involved
Boomers won't let it happen because they're selfish pieces of shit.
