If you want to organize and elect socialists at local levels of power who form coalitions with other left wing groups to coordinate against conservatives, I will help you do it.

If you do nothing but whine online and avoid politics to vote for a socialist candidate every 4 years during the presidential elections in a FPTP system, you’re a moron.

I can see you understand the flaws of First past the post voting quite well. We are going to need people like you to change this mathematically flawed voting system.

Feel free to stop by my ask lemmy post to discuss replacing First-past-the-post voting in your state when you're ready. Thanks.

We’re working on it in my state. It’s got the support of our local Democratic Party and because of the way our state legislature works, the next time to push further is the 2025 session.
