Political Memes

Lots of elections are not tied to the electoral college. Aren't there elected judges, sherrif, senators, etc, state level elections. Oh no it's useless if we can't have a 3rd party president win the next election. So we'll just keep hoping the nice billionaires win the next one.

Absolutely, and guess how many offices, both state and national the Green Party - arguably the biggest current 3rd party in the country has? G’wan guess.

That’s right! 153 people in the country were elected as Greens so the Electoral College doesn’t come close to applying. As far as representing my political preferences in the Water District Board of Directors or the Advisory Neighborhood Commission, they’re bringing the revolution to the halls of power slowly but . . . Well, slowly.

As for those billionaires who decide who runs, I don’t really like to be called a billionaire mostly because i’m about a billion dollars short of it, but I have a say in my parties’ candidates by participating.

If everyone scrabbling to eke out a tenuous coalition had any support we’d be getting somewhere with third parties. But we’re not largely because there isn’t support for them. The people in here blowing hard about “oooh don’t vote, it’s all a scam” and “gEnOciDe JoE” do absolutely nothing to support any political organization, and that’s why they disappeared - they were never going to do anything anyway, they just had a mandate to shit on the Democrats and that job is done.
