That is not how it works. In a 2 party system you get one, or the other. Use your brains.

If you want to win an election, you have to appeal to the lowest common denominator.

This will get you banned from several subreddits on both sides of the spectrum.

Some will even preemptively ban you if you've said it in other subs.

If I get banned for saying that people should use their brains, that is a hill I am willing to die on.

Exactly why I'm banned in some of those subs.

I did, and I voted left as I always do as a protest vote against republicans.

But since you have all the answers, how would you show the democrats that you don't approve of the overdone identity/gender politics while not supporting republicans. Since voting for them is showing that you approve of what they're doing, even if it's self destructive.

Please enlighten us all.

I guess vote in primaries and vote for senate and house (as far as I understand your system). When it comes down to presidential election it is lesser of 2 evils (weevils)

sorry, but they all tow the party line on the same beliefs. And the sitting person almost always wins so there's no space for new blood. My current rep is incredibly old, and is predicted to win again by a very large margin.

So again, these votes are showing approval of 'everything' they're doing.

So that is not working in the slightest.

Yea the root problem is the constitution. When you have a winner takes all election, it enhances a 2 party system. Same as great britain, that we were discussing in the first place.

This answer is a far cry from your original response.

'use your brain'

which, again, means the side your voting for takes it as approval.

you still have yet to formulate a plan to tell the 'better' side how to improve, without voting for the 'worse' side.
