I just wish they would have searched the locked closet! Dumbass drumming this back up I wish would have them make the choice to go back and get what they missed last time.

You misread my comment. I directly said you should vote for who you want and truly mean that. What I said was that your vote IN TERMS OF ACTUALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE OUTCOME is a wasted vote, and that is a fact that comes with the FPTP voting system.

But since you snapped back with throwing shade at "my candidate" your posts and comments are even more suspicious.

I'll be blocking your spam from here on out. I really do think you should vote for who you want though. It's just not going to make a damn bit of difference in this election.

I applaud your frustration at our voting system because I share that frustration, but the whole crux of it is that it results in a two party system. Your green party vote, in the grand scheme of things (at least in terms of making an actual difference), is a wasted one.

I honestly don't know how we will ever make this change. It's going to require people like Joe Biden that are willing to give up tremendous power in order to make a change for the better.

Politicians in general aren't really good at letting go of power. One of our dominant parties especially will never allow this to happen - they cannot even accept the outcome of a fair-ish election (even though they were assisted by their gerrymandering and voter suppression and voter roll purging). It won't be until the US has a very progressive phase that we have a chance of making this change.

Until we can make meaningful changes to enable us to make a change to our voting system, any vote for someone not in one of those two parties will be seen as an attempt to dilute the vote, and will also realistically have people be very suspicious towards you. This is especially the case if one were to post continually to this community and keep pushing the idea.

To recap - fundamental, core changes need to happen first before we have a remote chance of being able to make a difference outside of the two dominant parties. You should, however, vote for who you want, that's your right!

I'm not seeing it

What they're proposing would be really messy, and wouldn't have had a similar outcome of quick unity and support that we've seen materialize.

I get the desire to have done a primary, but this situation was unprecedented and nearly every single potential challenger pledged their support for Kamala within the first 48 hours.

While no one can predict the unknown, at least to me I don't think it could have been handled much better than it was, other than going back in time and altering the original approach. That, of course, isn't possible since we don't have a delorean with a functioning flux capacitor.

You love to see it, especially later in the summer
