    Linker, man. We didn’t reform our voting system early enough. Now we’ve let the right fall over the edge and the left ratchet right up next in line. We are out of options until we eliminate FPTP. What do you want us to do? Elect Jill Stein somehow?

      Keep voting Democrat thats going to change everything if we do it long enough!

      Yes the Democrats are also Genocidal Fascists now, we should have changed our voting earlier welp nothing can change it now!

      Did Kamala include FPTP in her campaign? I think I missed it.

        Its included for free in every campaign and neither power will change that fron the top. Again, what is your answer? It sounds like you’re advocating for flipping the table and not participating.

          Your answer is directly supporting a party promising Genocide is the same as a party promising no Genocide?

            No, I’m literally asking you what you think we should do if not vote Democrat. What is your idea?

                Believe me, I wish we lived in some solarpunk place that cared. But as a sort of response to Linker, we won’t get it by Varuca Salting it into existence. Jill Stein is not the champion to lead us there. No one is. It will take all of us to overthrow the crushing heel of those who own these planet devouring industries.

              Yes do not vote Democrat if the Genocide is not stopped before the election. Stein is a great alternative but anything except Dems and Republicans is fine.

                That would need an insane grass roots effort I’m just not seeing here. We should focus on implementing ranked choice or any other voting system than FPTP that makes more candidates viable.

                  Even if you don’t care about brown people getting Genocided, Democrats are not implementing FPTP. GPTP is just another strawman for “vote blue this time we’ll figure it out next time” and then the Democrats don’t provide the wanted changes.

                  The reason Democrats keep shifting right is because they only need to appeal to Republicans. Since they feel it’s literally impossible to lose a left vote, because they’re doing an actual Genocide right now.

                  This 30 second video explains it quite well.

                    Yeah I get it. But right now thats gonna net us Trump. I care about brown people, as you say, but I also care about how shit is here at home. So I’m not gonna vote third party until our FPTP system is changed. Especially during an election where Trump is on the board again. Thats gonna net us Trump again no matter how self righteous we wanna be.
