But that doesn't make it a viable option. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 0 points 2 years ago I think a better analogy would be, "a building has many exits available, but only 2 emergency exits. During an emergency, you 'must' use the emergency exits... But do you really?" If the USA population decided to ignore the democrats or republicans, as a whole, and focus their votes on one of the remaining four parties, then you lot would see a different party being elected. Easier said than done. I know. And I'm not blaming any of the USA voting population for this dichotomy. permalink fedilink source parent
