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

        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.
