The point is “you don’t have a better choice” isn’t a great argument FOR something. The Democrats need to put forth strong candidates, not “he’s not the other guy” lumps of wet tissue paper.
Not let traditions like “we don’t oppose the sitting president” override supporting who is actually best for the job. Elections should be cutroat even amongst the party. Not some dog and pony circus that we’re given where both candidates are chosen for us and we get to play “lesser of two evils” game.
No, what I’m advocating is for more than a 2 party system where multiple viable candidates are brought forth and not just the same two groups controlling it all.
Crazy idea, I know. Maybe we could call it a “Parliament” or something.
You just keep arguing “LESSER OF TWO EVILS!” like that actually means something
I think you’ll find a large number of people on here would prefer a system like score voting that allows us to choose a third person without throwing the vote away. That’s something that would get the results you want. The DNC infighting during an election year will not get the results you want.
Lmao “it’s too late now, why are you even trying?”. Your quote at the end literally contradicts yourself, by the way. The point of the quote is that yes, it should have been done then, but it’s now and now is better than later. And of course later you’ll have another handy excuse for why it’s too hard, right?
None of this changes the fact that you’re advocating the easy answers instead of the right answer and even you know it. But just like the boomers before who only looked out for themselves and what was easiest, so too will these next generations. And round and round we go.
Yes, that’s why we should have RCV. Until then though, we’re stuck with first past the post voting and not voting for Biden is basically the same as voting for Trump. This could flip enough people in battleground states to let Trump win.
It’s stupid and she knows it but she’s doing it anyway
And what will be next elections reason to not change the system, fight against it at all, and just “vote for the safer pick”? Change has to happen sometime or not at all. So when, pray tell, do we start caring that we’re stuck in a shallow 2 party system and do something about it? When it’s convientant?!?
Our elections are already a sham. We already don’t have truly free elections in this closed two party system. So again, when do we make change? It’ll never be convientant.

And they SHOULD. That’s why they’re weak. That’s the entire problem.

None of this changes the fact that if you wanted a better candidate you should have campaigned them a year ago, not now.
When is the best time to plant a tree? Twenty years ago, when is the next best time? Now.

Now is not better than later. Just like how you should plant a tree in the spring. If you plant too early in winter, it will die.
Just doing what you want, without considering the consequences is selfish and dumb.

If there’s a risk of not having a next election then that changes the calculation
