      Good thing the idea of a “uniparty” is fucking idiotic and not even remotely close to correct and is just a pathetic excuse for Republicans who don’t want to admit that they’re in favor of everything going on.

      Until we have ranked choice, “us” is the anti Republican contingent.

      You never vote FOR a candidate in a first past the post election. You vote AGAINST who you hate most. And not voting counts as a vote for who you hate most because it lowers their bar to win. It’s unfortunately how the math works out.

        I hate Democrats most because they block any meaningful progress to an alternative. What does that mean?

          It means you’re bad at strategy and privileged enough to not be too harmed by Republican policies.

              I haven’t been s Democrat in decades. I also understand how first past the post works.

              The current situation sucks, but we’re stuck in it. Provide an alternative strategy that doesn’t rely on hopes and dreams, and I’m in.

                Mate, your strategy is literally “do not criticize the party!”

                You’re on no position to accuse other people of relying on hopes and dreams.

              Yep! It’s their fault. They failed to vote.

              Also, they were dressed to sexily, so of course this happened.
