@GreenFire @augieray @underpantsgnome @zleap I’m voting for Biden btw, don’t get me wrong! As a trans person it would be insanely stupid to not vote or to throw away my vote on anyone else. I risk losing access to HRT with trump.

vea (2d@chaosfem.tw)'s status on Monday, 03-Jun-2024 09:28:15 JST vea @benroyce @GreenFire @augieray @underpantsgnome @zleap that’s my strategy absolutely, I’ve been contacting representatives and voting every single local and federal election. I’ve volunteered for the local nonprofit that advocates for RCV as well. Unfortunately a measure failed to pass the MN senate about a week ago. Even dems are against it sometimes, and they’re really holding us back.

vea (2d@chaosfem.tw)'s status on Monday, 03-Jun-2024 09:27:58 JST vea @GreenFire @augieray @underpantsgnome @zleap yes, the fact that we have to strategically choose candidates based on one or two of our biggest issues means that we will necessarily be electing candidates who we likely won’t agree with on many other issues. Ranked choice or approval voting helps fix this by widening the potential candidates without making strategic voting (the spoiler effect) the reality of every election.

vea (2d@chaosfem.tw)'s status on Monday, 03-Jun-2024 09:25:08 JST vea @underpantsgnome @zleap @augieray I think you have your analogy backwards. If you drive, you can’t complain about traffic - you’re the problem. If you smoke, you can’t complain about smoking - you’re the problem. If you vote for idiots - you can’t complain when they get into office. If you don’t vote - you can’t complain when an idiot gets into office

vea (2d@chaosfem.tw)'s status on Monday, 03-Jun-2024 09:25:03 JST vea @GreenFire @underpantsgnome @zleap @augieray right, but it’s a systemic issue that we’re even choosing between two evils and not two virtues
First past the post voting + two party system + electoral college are a horrendous combo -
