Image macros are memes and Twitter posts are basically image macros, right?

    It’s at least nice to see all of the vile righties that have harassed trans and other folks and talked endless shit online, eating absolute shit themselves. You can still tell them to cope and seethe like they did to lefties, while still recognizing that this whole thing is fucked and we’d get better results with guillotines and imprisonment.

      I know it sounds crazy, but what if we give voters the freedom to transfer their vote if their first pick didnt win? Then 3rd parties could participate in elections without a spoiler effect.

      Then when multiple political parties take up a unpopular stance, the people can choose something that better represents themselves.

      Conservatives to, they arent all a huge fan of how republicans are behaving. But they wont get a chance to have better options if they are handcuffed to the republican party by First-past-the-post voting.

        We tried that in Australia and all that’s happening is the even more far right fascists are gaining traction.

          Unfortunately that’s the system working as intended, it allows people to show preexisting support for more extreme views without ‘losing’ by not voting for your side of the two nearly center parties

        What? That’s crazy. Something like that would be like ranking your choices while voting! Nothing like that could exist!
