Dont let online bullies influence your vote. Each citizen gets one vote, cast it for whom you wish to support. Learn about the issues, the policies being proposed, and cast your vote for whomever you support.

These numbers are ~~not~~ correct according to NY Times

Edit: I can’t math

[-] taipan@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

I double checked the subtraction with the NYT numbers you linked to, and the numbers look correct to me. Which numbers are wrong?

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

I think maybe he means numbers themselves are wrong? I mean look at 7. That number is just all kinds of fucked up. Don't get me started on 23.

That makes an assumption that all or a big majority third party voters would prefer Harris over Trump.

Just for clarifying the logic here.

I remember 2020 where Trump did not win. All problems are fixed now.

If this were true then American politics really are terrible. Minority should hold seats. America needs to revisit representation.

It’s actually not entirely true, it only counts stein as the only 3rd party (the libertarian candidate in PA got 3x as many votes as her, I’d bet those 3rd party votes wouldn’t have gone to Clinton) AND doesn’t report factual numbers.

It’s just not true.

That said unfortunately voting for a 3rd party candidate is largely useless in the USA and the forces trying to get their opponents voters to vote 3rd party are probably more overwhelming then the forces actually compelling folks to vote 3rd party.

FPTP needs to die in the USA.

Support ranked choice voting

[-] Grappling7155@lemmy.ca 10 points 15 hours ago

North America’s electoral systems are so broken. It’s painful to see so much negativity, frustration, and fear directed at third parties in general. If that same energy was directed towards building a ranked choice voting system with proportional representation, like single transferable voting (STV), the duopolies would crumble and we could all actually vote for whoever we want without having to worry we might end up with the worst candidate winning.

America's system is a problem.

[-] problematicPanther@lemmy.world 14 points 18 hours ago

Yeah no shit. But 2 weeks from the election isn't the time to try to fix it.
