:mjlol:The irony of, "bu bu but but he's not a democrat" posting this
LOL at the OP wanting to break two party politics

disgusting thread
This is why I lack complete respect for so many of you and make no effort at speaking to many of you with any degree of sincerity.

You know I'd prefer a multi-party system right?

But thats not the system we live in.

We have two parties not out of design, but out of game theory and Duvergers law.

uhh, no. i didnt :skip:

maybe it was your constant attacks on the third party
Because in our present system, they help the party you seek to oppose by splitting the vote of allies.

If you want to vote third party locally, whatever. Don't jeopardize major seats on third party bullshyt...in our current system.

I should not have to keep explaining to to you. You can't be this goddamn slow.

JEEEESUS FÜCKING CHRIST YOU FÜCKING IDIOT

YOU SHOULD BE THROTTLED FOR BEING THIS SLOW.

IF WE CHANGED HOW WE VOTE, I WOULD PREFER 3RD, 4TH, NTH PARTIES.

HOWEVER, IN OUR SYSTEM TWO PARTIES PREDOMINATE BECAUSE OF DUVERGERS LAW.

WATCH THESE VIDEOS AND STOP BEING A LITERAL RETARD:

I remember you had brought up Duverger's law before and I presented this link which proves that Duverger himself did not view his priniciples as absolute and shows counterexamples.

But yet, it still breaks out the same way.

In systems like ours, you can have as many parties as you want, but when a majority vote wins, people vote strategically to ensure the person they definitely dont want to win
