Lol you’re the one not making any sense, but sure

FTPT is just another convenient fearmongering excuse.

No, it’s reality.

I know very well how it works.

I don’t think you do. Biden has nothing to do with it. Democrats have nothing to do with it. Go read up.

Ok, sure? But as long as we have FPTP, your choices are Democrat or Republican. Or bank on the Green Party winning the Powerball, I guess.

It’s not a matter of politics. We could be voting on which salad dressing to use, and FPTP will always devolve into only two parties (Caesar and Italian, perhaps?). Go read those links I shared.

And without something like RCV, the greens can never win.

You’re presenting a safe with the key locked inside.

What false premise?

The revolutionary isn’t loyal to party, only principle

So the principle you are loyal to is…we get to be led by Democrats or Republicans, forever and forever?

No, you are flat out wrong. Read the links I shared. Statistically, it is nearly impossible for a third party to win under FPTP; you may as well buy lottery tickets. The most a third party can do is create a spoiler effect. This is regardless of being on the ballot or campaigning a lot.

The voting system must be changed. Neither the Democrats or the Republicans will advocate for this, however, since they both enjoy having roughly half the pie.

largest obstacle maintaining duopoly

The duopoly is maintained by First Past the Post. If we want meaningful change, we must change the voting system.

Because they already raised hundreds of millions from investors

Yeah the pledge is definitely weird.

Eh I don’t buy that, at least not as the primary goal. It’s more a side effect of the structure and resources of a class. When the classrooms were built to support 18 students per class, and the teacher’s union contract says they’ll have a max of 25 students per class, but in actuality they have 31 students per class, kids sharing desks and bumping elbows, yeah we kinda need all 31 of those kids to sit down and buckle up, or no one at all is going to get any learning done.

Is it the ideal learning environment for every student? Nope. Is it the ideal learning environment for any student? Probably not. But unless we’re willing to invest more in education, it’s what we’re working with.

I think they want kids to pay attention in class

Huh. That is way cooler

IIRC that only blocks posts though, not comments :/

We call upon you once again

Oh, but that would mean the website is just providing you information. That’s not the goal–we need to fingerprint your browser, track you, and serve you ads. Quid pro quo – if you want to know this recipe for cookies, we need to know your purchasing behavior for the past six months. Btw, can I use your location? How about notifications, can I send you those? And for the best experience, you really should be using the app. It’s actually just the website wrapped in an iOS/android package, but it lets us track you more effectively. Thanks!
