So... People tell me an election year is no time to talk about electoral reform. Every US election year. But! After the election, they scurry away under the refrigerator and stay there for 4 years. I know you have to hold your nose while you vote this time, but catch these weird centrists before they disappear and hold their feet to the fire to influence change. You deserve better than this "I'm not voting for _, I'm voting against _" nonsense. Your government is hurting all of us. Stop it, please.
Who has told you not to talk about electoral reform in an election year? I've never heard that.
On top of that, there are plenty of people who are working to change our election system the whole time. The problem is the "I hate the two party system!" People by and large just vote every few years. I work with some locally that are trying to change things from the ground up.
Ugh, Facebook people, mostly. And thank you for being the change you want to see in the world.
I wanted to reply in a way you would see. Your question is valid and I don't believe you deserve the downvotes.
Stop it. Just stop it. The fascist weirdo vs. the just sort of regular weirdo is how you do elections? We are all beholden to US policy and you think this is a joke?
Fucking fuck the fuck out of the fuck. Change it. Stop it. Please!
"Make your country stronger so you're not beholden to the us! Omg your country is such crap."
This is what you sound like, btw. It's just shitting on America and Americans, you aren't really saying anything productive.
Honey, the right is galvanizing globally and we all have work to do. I am passionate about avoiding catastrophy and it sounds like we might have at least that in common. Peace.
If you think we should be galvanizing, why attack me? Why shit on me and my country? You're "peace" rings very hollow right now.
I didn't think I was attacking you. Maybe there is a cultural barrier, but I swear I meant no offense. I thought my silly use of the language was in fun. Peace, please.
