minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8arrow-down2·1 month agoI can go ahead and call 2028 for you now. It’s gonna be the Dem or Rep nominee. It is binary. If you believe another outcome is likely, let’s bet money.

minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down7·1 month agoHey I’ll likely be fine. Better off than the people you identified in your comment. I’m a cis white male who makes ~$250k/yr. The ones who sat at home are likely going to be much worse off.

minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down4·edit-21 month agoFunny. I was told that was a false dichotomy before the most recent election too. Somehow I just continue being proved right. This is my cross to bear.

minus-squareUltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoWhy aren’t you working to replace First past the post voting in your state so there can be more then two options?
minus-squareEmpireInDecay@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down5·1 month agoIt’s binary because voters keep it that way

If a third party ever reached viability, theyd just split the same half of voters with whichever large party theyre closer to
minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down4·edit-21 month agoSure. Agreed. That doesn’t change the fact. I made no claim about the mechanics of it. Only the outcome.
