[–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 29 points 1 year ago* (3 children) you have no choice except this or violent revolt because your election system is garbage. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] vga@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) Have you paid attention to how european countries with various election systems (some non-garbage) are voting? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 9 points 1 year ago yes. the numbers are roughly the same, in the 20-35% range of the population. but because our systems are generally more robust, it's easier to fight back, while the US has become completely captured because their system is antiquated and easily gamed. permalink fedilink source parent [–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) don’t threaten me with a good time. (fully aware that a revolt is not a good time) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 1 point 1 year ago haha yeah, i mean, whatever ppl want, i just want them to be realistic about this, rather than pretending suddenly a plurality of the American voting populace in enough states are going to start voting DSA. XD permalink fedilink source parent [–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 child) Lol. Americans are too pussy to violently revolt. If it was going to happen it would have already happened. So the next, actually realistic option, is to change the Democrat party by primarying the shit out of the reps that won't get onboard with what liberals want. How do I know this is possible? Because conservative voters just did it to the Republican party over the last decade or two. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 0 points 1 year ago i agree that i don't think Americans have what it takes for an actual revolt. i also agree that the actual Left should stop clutching their pearls and take over the Democratic party. permalink fedilink source parent
