Where along the DNC’s journey to the right do you hop off? Is it never? When do you hop off the electoral trend and join the Revolutionary trend?
And what is this revolutionary trend doing? Is there a plan? Because “let’s get Trump elected and hope for the best” really isn’t a great pitch
Lol you’re the one not making any sense, but sure
FTPT is just another convenient fearmongering excuse.
No, it’s reality.
I know very well how it works.
I don’t think you do. Biden has nothing to do with it. Democrats have nothing to do with it. Go read up.
Ok, sure? But as long as we have FPTP, your choices are Democrat or Republican. Or bank on the Green Party winning the Powerball, I guess.
It’s not a matter of politics. We could be voting on which salad dressing to use, and FPTP will always devolve into only two parties (Caesar and Italian, perhaps?). Go read those links I shared.
And without something like RCV, the greens can never win.
You’re presenting a safe with the key locked inside.
What false premise?
The revolutionary isn’t loyal to party, only principle
So the principle you are loyal to is…we get to be led by Democrats or Republicans, forever and forever?
No, you are flat out wrong. Read the links I shared. Statistically, it is nearly impossible for a third party to win under FPTP; you may as well buy lottery tickets. The most a third party can do is create a spoiler effect. This is regardless of being on the ballot or campaigning a lot.
The voting system must be changed. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans will advocate for this, however, since they both enjoy having roughly half the pie.
largest obstacle maintaining duopoly
The duopoly is maintained by First Past the Post. If we want meaningful change, we must change the voting system.

Because they already raised hundreds of millions from investors
MBA requirement for graduation
Yeah the pledge is definitely weird.
Eh I don’t buy that, at least not as the primary goal. It’s more a side effect of the structure and resources of a class. When the classrooms were built to support 18 students per class, and the teacher’s union contract says they’ll have a max of 25 students per class, but in actuality they have 31 students per class, kids sharing desks and bumping elbows, yeah we kinda need all 31 of those kids to sit down and buckle up, or no one at all is going to get any learning done.
Is it the ideal learning environment for every student? Nope. Is it the ideal learning environment for any student? Probably not. But unless we’re willing to invest more in education, it’s what we’re working with.
I think they want kids to pay attention in class
I haven’t watched the Olympics in a long time but I thought the experience was kinda shit, especially compared to ye olden days of it being on every channel. My experience was basically:
My wife: What’s the difference between “Women’s all around final” and “women’s all around final (TV)”?
Me: googling I think we want the “TV” one?
30 second ad
20 seconds of a commentator talking over a view of Paris
2 minutes of ads
15 minutes of the camera just looking at an empty apparatus while there’s clearly other stuff going on in the background
2 minutes ads
30 seconds commentators discussing the event
2 minutes ads
Ok they actually fucking start, finally
Someone does something, 2 second MICRO AD??? This is a thing now apparently? Randomly throughout there’s these insanely short ads that are super jarring
Zoom in on Simone Biles face
Watch someone do a warmup on vault
Simone itches her nose
We can clearly hear other competitors doing things in the background, but Simone is looking to the right, so let’s focus on that
2 minutes ads
Watch a competitor do uneven bars, neat
Back to Simone, she’s talking to Suni now, we can’t hear it, but it must be important
Literally can see people doing flips and shit in the background, but let’s watch Simone as she sits in this chair

BREAKING NEWS: Simone blinks
“What did that other girl get for a score? Did they show it?”
Attempt to rewind 30 seconds. Big mistake, 2 minutes ads
Simone does a vault
2 minutes ads
…
Like I love Simone Biles, I do. Obviously I want to see all of her events. But holy shit, I’m here to watch the Olympics, not the “Simone is waiting for her turn” show. Also it was like 90% ads, they didn’t even show some of the highest scoring performances (since they only showed like 3 other people besides Simone), and half the time didn’t even show the scores they received. It was just…pretty bleh.
Anecdotal, but when I visited Madrid I saw more cats on the street than any other city I’ve visited. So maybe they get by with neighborhood cats?
Huh. That is way cooler
Ok. Which is yours? What’s your pitch?
