To try and get everyone pulling the same direction so we don’t lose again, and to get people to understand that FPTP is not about voting FOR a good candidate. It’s about voting AGAINST the bad.

Dunno. Life somewhere :-)
But it’s true. We’re hyper-individualized and have forgotten what it’s like to move together. We press a button, and nothing happens, so we assume it’s useless. We have stopped thinking about acting together as a community, and all pressing the button together to have an effect.
And we’ve also forgotten that, in order to be a community and wield that power, you have to accept that some people disagree with you on some topics. It’s how the right keeps winning.
But one thing we can’t disagree on, is how first past the post works. You never vote FOR a candidate you like. You’re always voting AGAINST the worst candidate.
What is the purpose of criticizing them online to each other?
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature.
I just like to stack the blocks. : shrug:
Yep! It’s their fault. They failed to vote.
Also, they were dressed to sexily, so of course this happened.
No raindrop thinks itself responsible for the flood.
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.

And that’s wrong.

The s&p index returns about 10% a year over the past couple decades.
Anyone reading this would be hard-pressed to do any better than that. So there’s no reason to do anything but just put your money in a giant index and wait.
Their response is “Brian…”. Like “let me hold your hand whole I say this”
It looks weird because they tagged him first

Jerk off before you leave the house. It’ll help.
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.
Up to you. Do you think it’ll help us win?
See, I write to them. I call them. I influence them. You, you’re influencing voters. Is that a winning strategy?
