    That is LITERALLY how it works in a two party system, ffs… for being smart enough to care about the environment, that is purely brainless on the politics…

      When a parent tells a child ‘the way it works’ is that you only get to choose whether you want to brush your teeth before or after the last cartoon…

      It’s only ‘the way it works’ in the context of the parent being in charge and deciding what they want to do unilaterally. It’s not actually how the world works.

        The system needs to change for it to not be a bifurcation, for all practical purposes. The system of voting needs to be changed from First Past the Post to be something like Ranked Robin voting, STAR voting, or Score voting. All of those are my preferred alternatives, but Ranked Choice is still solid over First Past the Post as well.

        A different voting system enables third parties to hold real power and to grow in influence.

        We’re talking about politics that has many laws and regulations written that are enforced. Not your mom trying to instill good hygene…
