Populism Updates @PopulismUpdates Tell me your most radical position that cannot be placed on the left-right political spectrum
Admiral Snaccbar @Chris Mench Serving shrimp with the tail still on when it’s already mixed into something (pasta, rice, etc) is insane.
Easy to be idealist when you never hold office. 3rd parties never have to show where they would comprise, because they are not running for these higher offices in a meaningful way.
The republican agenda is so profoundly awful, and the US electorate has not yet resoundly rejected it. Meanwhile, we’re too busy “trying to send a message” to recognize that the democrats are the only party even marginally open to progressive policies. Depending on where you live, there are a lot of groups pushing for election reform, and many places where that will be on the ballot. Get involved, help make that change happen…but you can do that and also flush the big orange turd.
How did I get dragged into this in a joke thread??
If you’re never given a seat at the table, then how can they talk about their compromises? I agree with a good portion of what you said. I wasn’t trying to fight people, but it did ask for “Radical Ideas” lol.
How can your third party ever have a seat at the table when they put all their resources and funding into national elections they can’t win?
I agree that only focusing on national elections is not good. A quick search will show that there are independent and third party representatives though, so while some candidates fall short, cough Jill Stein cough I would hope not all are discounted.
Yeah, it’d be great to see more 3rd party candidates in down ballot races. Should your first seat at the table nationally be the presidency?
It wouldn’t be the first seat. A quick search shows that there are independent and third-party representatives. I agree though.
