Republicans are working to invalidate democratic voters registration in Georgia, US.
| they should ask cuomo what he did for the new york primary to do it there.
The fucker would if you gave him a 20
| -insert that broken "both are bad" argument-
| Republicans bad! We good!
| Because you know, the left would never manipulate or exploit the rules to their advantage.
| >>418055 they ARE both bad though.
2 party system basically pays lip service to the idea of democracy and the rich basically run your country into the ground by blaming whoever is convenient.
This week PLEASE get more politically active. We don't want your shit boiling over to Canada
| >>418400 voting for a third party is a viable option. Third parties used to have some degree of influence in congress up until the late 80s.
| Like I say to my IRL peeps, if you don't vote you can't complain.
| >>418400 at least try voting AND violence. That way nobody can say you didn't try to be nonviolent.
But actually violence, dirty tricks, and lies seem to be the only tactics these animals understand.
Captcha: spear macho soy.

Also voting for 3rd parties is only viable when more than a tiny percentage of the vote is going to them...Which 100% never happens.
| >>418703 Voting for a third party is always viable. These things take time and the sooner you start the better. Just because it wont happen overnight is not a reason to abstsain from voting. Even small influences will help spread the word that there actually are other options available.
| >>418827
Even so, this guarantees a couple decades of elections being GIVEN to one of the two parties until people actually bother to vote differently, and nobody is willing to let that happen.

This.

The media is way too powerful. There aren't enough people smart enough to really think about the "wasted vote" meme and who benefits from it.
| Third party sucess has to be from the ground up. A third party seizing success in big elections is very unlikely. However, there are many third party camdidates who have won in smaller elections. If people keep voting third parties into smaller elections, it could grow those parties influence enough to eventually take slightly larger elections, etc. Also, a lot of what actually influences people's lives starts with local gov anyways.

This. There are several worthwhile 3rd party groups, but they need support in order to matter.
| In fact, there have been some successful third party candidate victories in the past few months, a couple threads were posted here discussing them.
