Both sides are bad.

They're just looking out for different rich people.

People say voting 3rd party is a waste, but voting democrat just slows the loss.

Losing is still losing, lol.

people gonna find out the hard way the libertarian party is funded by psychos.

the democrats are the best that the current voting system can deliver and we should make more efforts to implement an alaska style top 4 RCV system in the future. The way you prevent corruption of elected officials is to make it very easy to vote them out.

The libertarian are psychos. The next time you meet one and you determine that they aren't just a Republican trying to have sex with a Democrat just mention to them "age of consent laws" and watch a small part of them die.

Just saying, I never mentioned libertarians.

Ranked-choice voting would be nice, but democrats don't support it because they're bad people.

Tell me, which states have ranked choice voting and which states are run by the "bad people"?
