  • If I had not seen this video, or seen this specific and pretty obscure information presented elsewhere, I would be all in on third parties (though even then I’d understand that this election specifically is not the time), and there would be absolutely no reason for me not to be.

    If someone’s emotionally closed down to the fact that first past the post makes third parties impossible, then something needs to open them back up before they can learn it. But plenty of people just have never heard it, and there’s no reason any normal person would have.

    And if you don’t know it, the reasonable assumption in its absence is that people don’t vote third party because they’re limp-dicks incapable of imagination and commitment.

    All we need do is insert the critical piece of information. Those who haven’t pre-decided beyond all reconsideration will see that it’s a very different situation with that bit of info factored in.

    Probably the prevalence of american political posts + the fact that america is fighting a nazi cancer at the moment. A certain directness about a truly dogshit situation is fitting, and insisting on a rock-hard-pleasant tone with atrocities can border on lying.

    It doesn’t tend to happen on non-political memes, goofy stuff, or on (kinda surprisingly) Linux communities (mostly)
