You guys created that prisoners dilemma for yourselves. Canada doesn’t have ranked voting either for federal elections and we have a party called the NDP which has been slowly creeping up on the conservatives and liberals. Last time I voted I didn’t get the winner I wanted and life went on. People died, babies got born, kids got older, high school classes graduated, and eventually we’ll vote again. What I hate the most about politics is how short term everyone’s plans are. We should be thinking more than 4 years ahead.

So sick of hearing this. Who is alive right now who had a hand in creating the current system? Who is commenting on lemmy right now who has any congressional say? Anyone who says this knows it’s bullshit but is trying super hard to sound edgy. Don’t bother.
If you have two parties with deeply rooted power, it’s going to take longer than a year to change that. You might never get the 3rd party winner you want, but your kids could when they’re adults. A lot can change in 10 years when the conditions are set so imagine 100.

Who was the last NDP prime minister of Canada?
You couldn’t have missed the point any harder. Like zoinks man. They have you guys fogged to death.
I’m Canadian.
What was your point?

The US and Canada’s political systems are totally different.
US can’t have a minority government like Canada does right now that’s giving the NDP any power.
I think it might be you that is missing the point my friend.
If someone loses there all they get is a multimillion dollar grant to continue campaigning.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to just donate money then?
