    I mean that’s kind of how it works

    And since you didn’t immediately follow that with “and that’s why the entire worthless system needs to be dismantled with prejudice” I stopped reading.

    That being “how it works” is a part of the problem.

      What an idiotic statement. Yeah the system sucks it needs to be fixed it’s fucking broken. We need more than two actual parties in this system. However it’s the system we have and it’s the system we have to work in so immediately stopping reading is the stupidest fucking thing you can do. Get registered fucking vote quit bitching and whining unless you’re part of the system and trying to change it.

        “Quit complaining about how rigged the voting system is and just vote! Its the only system we have, can’t change it so stop complaining”

        Is that right?

        How can we change it if not telling everyone we know what a steaming pile of shit it all is and that it is clearly rigged and needs change? The voting part is the part not working because of how it is set up to be rigged.

        Ranked choice is the answer. Not whatever farce this is that they are doing.

          That’s right. Complain and do nothing. Voting never works. Your correct. I apologize.

            Nope not what I said. The current way they are doing the voting is a steaming pile of shit that needs changed.

            Ranked choice is pretty much the only answer. So I’m going to advocate for that strongly and make sure I point out how fucked and broken this current system is to anyone who will listen because that is how you change it. Not by saying “shut up and vote the way it is right now” like you said.

            Also, I DID vote yesterday. But I’m certainly not going to be quiet about how unfair and rigged the process is. No one I voted for won, by the way. I still feel good for doing it anyway though it is all I can do other than complain loud enough that maybe it changes something.
