This has to be the dumbest take I've read in a LONG time.
Like yeah, those in power are going to say "oh my, people are throwing their votes away and helping me solidify my grasp? Oh dangit, I've been foiled!"
Goodness gracious you silly goof.
Fun fact. If "those in power" do not get voted for because people didn't vote for them, then they don't get to do shit anymore because they are no longer "in power." One of the parties will collapse, and a new one will take it's place because that is how first past the post has to work. The only thing you have to do is vote for anyone but the two parties that are the current top2. That's it. It's easy, it costs you nothing.
So, all you need for your plan to work is to coordinate some 100 million folks to agree on a third party and vote on it. You see nothing nonsensical about this plan?
Everyone is dumber for having read your scribbles.
No. Just stop voting for the current two parties. That's it. No other coordination. It's the least you can do.
It's always funny to see how liberals won't do the barest of minimum things with the meager amount of power they are granted.
That's even dumber! Are you just jerking my chain?
In a fptp system, winner takes all. So now your plan is that all those people miraculously outvote both of the dominant parties?
This is starting to feel like I'm bullying a kid with developmental disabilities so I I'm done here.
Have a good night.
Yeah, there seems to be a handful of these folks spreading the exact same "vote third party" baloney, exact same talking points (genocide, Biden old, etc). They all started appearing at the same time. I'm sure that's totally a coincidence though.
