That’s lemmy as well. Tons of talk. Absolutely zero action.
But if they talk really hard maybe the green party gets 5% which would do checks notes absolutely nothing in a first-past-the-post system
Wrong! 5% of votes in green party means checks notes Democrats get 5% less votes, which secures a victory for Republicans!
It also pressures dems to lean more left. A thing we should be doing in blue states.
This seems true on the face of it, and it is definitely worth trying to get further left democrat candidates, but it seems to me that they have to believe that trying to capture said 5% won't cause them to lose more in the process, especially if they can never "earn my vote" for much of said 5% no matter what they do.
First and foremost, we need to spread the implementation of ranked voting in more cities. Once enough cities have ranked voting and it's proven successful and popular, then more cities will adopt, then states, and once enough states have adopted ranked voting, we'll have a real chance for anyone to be elected despite what party they're aligned with. Two states use it for federal elections, and many other states have cities that use it for local elections. All states that have it banned need to have it bills constantly in circulation to get it unbanned until it finally is, then bills to constantly have it implemented.
There are a lot of issues that need fixing, but I think starting here will open the floodgates for fixing a lot of the other issues.
Right. I must be tired.
The fuck do you know?
Ever heard of OpSec?
If there was opsec there wouldn’t be talking about it
It's not about keeping the action secret, it's just about preventing the powers that be from finding out who took the actions.
If you can fire bomb a Walmart and have them not find out about it, that's actually pretty impressive, or it was a really small fire.
