I think the person you are replying to agrees with you

Hey there 👋, I know you mean well by that comment, like I get it, I do. ☺️ But I just wanted to let you know:

THERE HAVE BEEN ZERO STUDIES DONE ON THE SAFETY OF CRAB TRAINS.

ZERO.

But despite that, they are gaining widespread support, and now even people like yourself are calling them “optimal.”

Listen: Someone I know lost an arm in the pincer mechanism of one of these trains. More work needs to be done before we can consider them safe, nevermind “optimal”. Don’t buy into the techbro BS.

Friends don’t let friends crab train.

And YouTube. And Facebook. And Reels.

It’s wild that right wingers are always complaining about big tech censoring them when YouTube and Facebook are pushing far-right content so much

Exception: when the quoted thing is the punchline

There’s crypto now? Wtf

What makes it better than Signal?

You know what an incubus is?

230 calories per bottle

The serving size is BOTTLE?!

Ok. Which is yours? What’s your pitch?

Where along the DNC’s journey to the right do you hop off? Is it never? When do you hop off the electoral trend and join the Revolutionary trend?

And what is this revolutionary trend doing? Is there a plan? Because “let’s get Trump elected and hope for the best” really isn’t a great pitch

Lol you’re the one not making any sense, but sure

FTPT is just another convenient fearmongering excuse.

No, it’s reality.

I know very well how it works.

I don’t think you do. Biden has nothing to do with it. Democrats have nothing to do with it. Go read up.

Ok, sure? But as long as we have FPTP, your choices are Democrat or Republican. Or bank on the Green Party winning the Powerball, I guess.

It’s not a matter of politics. We could be voting on which salad dressing to use, and FPTP will always devolve into only two parties (Caesar and Italian, perhaps?). Go read those links I shared.

And without something like RCV, the greens can never win.

You’re presenting a safe with the key locked inside.

What false premise?

The revolutionary isn’t loyal to party, only principle

So the principle you are loyal to is…we get to be led by Democrats or Republicans, forever and forever?

No, you are flat out wrong. Read the links I shared. Statistically, it is nearly impossible for a third party to win under FPTP; you may as well buy lottery tickets. The most a third party can do is create a spoiler effect. This is regardless of being on the ballot or campaigning a lot.

The voting system must be changed. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans will advocate for this, however, since they both enjoy having roughly half the pie.

largest obstacle maintaining duopoly

The duopoly is maintained by First Past the Post. If we want meaningful change, we must change the voting system.
