    So you want me and others to vote for a fascist just because dems are bad? It doesn’t stop with voting against fascism. First you vote against it, and then you start trying the grassroots campaigns to kick out the worthless democrats, which is a lot easier when there isn’t a literal fascist.

    Dems give me a lot more trains and bike paths and social services than Republicans ever will.

      This might just blow your mind, but there is a way to have more then two political parties to participate in elections without a spoiler effect.

      One has to wonder why the self proclaimed democracy advocates in the democratic party haven’t pushed for these critical electoral reforms in states they control.

      Democrats most certainly understand the flaws in First Past the Post voting. Feel free to go to the comments on any news articles on third parties/candidates during the previous election season to see it on full display.

      So why do Democrats howl and scream about 3rd parties, yet do nothing to replace First past the post voting?

      Yeah, sure, but this math is simple enough for anyone with two cents to rub together. If youre interacting with them on a web forum about politics chances are they arent the people who need to hear it.

      So, stay vigilant.
