you have no choice except this or violent revolt because your election system is garbage.

Have you paid attention to how european countries with various election systems (some non-garbage) are voting?

[–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 11 points 1 day ago

yes. the numbers are roughly the same, in the 20-35% range of the population.

but because our systems are generally more robust, it's easier to fight back, while the US has become completely captured because their system is antiquated and easily gamed.

don’t threaten me with a good time. (fully aware that a revolt is not a good time)

[–] Nico_198X@europe.pub 1 points 1 day ago

haha yeah, i mean, whatever ppl want, i just want them to be realistic about this, rather than pretending suddenly a plurality of the American voting populace in enough states are going to start voting DSA. XD

Lol.

Americans are too pussy to violently revolt. If it was going to happen it would have already happened.

So the next, actually realistic option, is to change the Democrat party by primarying the shit out of the reps that won't get onboard with what liberals want.

How do I know this is possible? Because conservative voters just did it to the Republican party over the last decade or two.

i agree that i don't think Americans have what it takes for an actual revolt.

i also agree that the actual Left should stop clutching their pearls and take over the Democratic party.
